But oh man, the reason you’re getting this is the keyboard. Now, I don’t find this the most awesome form factor, personally. At 6.7 inches, it’s a little bit too wide for me to comfortably thumb-type on. But folks with bigger hands will thrill to the scissor-like depth of the keys and the sculpted, laptop-like key edges. Chiclets these ain’t.

So Palm’s entire raison d’etre stems from the mainline smartphone makers’ abandonment of the comparatively small-handed, or just people who prefer smaller devices. Those folks shouldn’t have to pay a $349+ premium just to have a device that better suits their needs — there should be both high-end smartphones small and large alike, just like Mazda makes both the Miata and the seven-passenger CX-9. Remember when miniaturization was seen as the height of technological progress? Let’s resurrect that ethos. And when it comes to the phablet fans and the mini-phone stans, let there be peace in our time.

The dominant color scheme is black, though you can get the handset with colored highlights. The review model had yellow flashes on it, and Poptel also offers green highlights, and one that’s entirely black. This could be handy if you intend to use more than one of these devices in a team situation, assuming the team doesn’t consist of more than three people.

IIRC Hewlett Packard used to have free downloads of all the software, PCB files, parts list etc for building a PDA. The specified screen was monochrome and only something like 160×200 pixels. Since it was way before the advent of cheap desktop 3D printing, an enclosure was up to the builder.

“This is a major advancement for UPS routing and navigation technology. It’s been very impactful,” said Jack Levis, senior program director at UPS. “The routing and training efficiencies are undeniable.

The company has been selling its ‘breath checkers’ and ‘alcohol checkers’ since 1999. They have sold more than 2.5 million units.

When the last Red Army units crossed Friendship Bridge back into the USSR on February1989, more than 14,500 Soviet soldiers and 18,000 of their PDA allies had died in over nine years of war. Conservative estimates of Mujahidin battle deaths range from 75,000 to 90,000, but it is difficult to number Afghan casualties and to distinguish between Mujahidin and civilian casualties from horrific Soviet Air Force bombing and strafing attacks. Many of the helicopter gunship attacks on Mujahidin have been described as massive slaughter. Some estimates place total Afghan dead at 1.5 million of which 500,000 were at least loosely associated with the Mujahidin and the remaining one million were civilians. There were 17 million people in Afghanistan at the beginning of the war. In addition, to the deaths, 3.5 million refugees fled to Pakistan and another million to Iran—a total of 4.5 million. Moreover, another 2.0 million Afghans were displaced internally within Afghanistan. The Soviets never had more than 118,000 military personnel in Afghanistan, but there are more than 500,000 veterans of the war in the present Russian Federation.

And as I mentioned above, I’ve had the Edge web browser unexpectedly freeze or crash more often than I’m comfortable with… especially on a machine with 6GB of RAM. And I spent a lot of time looking at “[URL] is not responding” messages.

In fact, the device has already proven valuable for consumer use: After joining the startup last year as chief medical officer, John Martin, a surgeon, was at a hospital testing the iQ. Having felt a lump in his throat for some time, he scanned his neck, which revealed a tumor that was then diagnosed as cancerous. He recently finished his first round of treatment.
