Warehouse Mobility Upgrades Accelerate | Windows 10 Handheld Scanner

"A diagnostic device that can diagnose one of 13 medical conditions is not really that viable — a first year medical resident can diagnose 75 to 100 medical conditions. We just designed something to win a prize, but it’s not something that’s useful out in the marketplace yet. And if you think about how the FDA in the United States approves medical devices, if we sought an approval for a medical device that did a large collection of medical conditions, it would take aeons to be approved. From a strategic point of view, we changed our strategy and said let’s focus on one disease state," Phil Charron, head of user experience at Basil Leaf Technologies, tells ZDNet.

Our only reservation is that in this context it only offers 1080p video capture and not the 4K resolution that the sensor is capable of.

Traditional ultrasound machines rely on vibrating crystals and other components to produce ultrasound images. These are generally large, stationary machines that cost anywhere from $15,000 to $100,000. But the startup’s device, called iQ, which resembles an electric razor that plugs into an iPhone lightning jack, essentially puts an entire ultrasound system on a chip, meaning it’s portable and sells for about $2,000.

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 Ulefone X2 is the company’s entry-level rugged smartphone, and it supports 3G connectivity. It is easy to notice that the Armor X2 is a rugged smartphone, its design reveals that. The phone has three capacitive buttons below the display, overview, home, and back buttons, while it is made mostly out of metal, and it has some sort of rubber-like material on the back in order to be more grippy. This smartphone comes with two vertically-aligned cameras on the back, while it has a side-facing fingerprint scanner. The phone includes a 5,500mAh battery on the inside, which is one of its main selling points. Facial scanning is also included in the package, and the same can be said for an NFC chip. This smartphone is IP68 certified for water and dust resistance, which is to be expected considering it’s a rugged handset.

Sprint’s early surge WASHINGTON-Sprint Spectrum L.P., which began offering personal communications service in Washington a year ago through partner American Personal Communications, has converted its marketing from a big-bang effort to one resembling a continuous rumble. During the last 13 months, the carrier has attracted more than 100,000 subscribers (July 1996 figures); has nearly doubled its cell sites (from 264 to 414); and has won a first-place J.D. Power and Associates award for customer service, call quality and price seven months into its existence. Mirroring its initial plunge into the marketplace during last year’s holiday season, Sprint Spectrum this year has been running major print ads in cooperation with its retail partners and has offered a $99 phone. Retail outlets handling the Sprint Spectrum phones and service have doubled since last year-to 400-cutting an even larger customer-recognition swathe this season. With increased training and advertising provided by Sprint Spectrum, and word-of-mouth testimonials provided by friends and relatives who are subscribers, retail workers are having an even easier time this year promoting the shrink-wrapped phones in a box. … Read more

That’s not to say this is a pure workhorse, but the matt-black paint job, ancient-looking ThinkPad logo and red highlights certainly give the impression this machine is about getting stuff done.

There is a lot about the Unihertz Atom that really bolsters its appeal, as outlined above. In particular, it would be a great handset for those who don’t necessarily need a smartphone taking up room in their pocket or for those who don’t want their device to become a distraction. Android phones are already very portable but the Atom also excels on that front. It can quite literally be placed in a pocket and forgotten about until its needed and that’s not a bad thing at all. On the other hand, it will do just about anything a full-sized smartphone will when it needs to. The audio quality isn’t great, the camera’s not perfect, and the screen is far too tiny to be any use for those with larger hands or poor eyesight but those aren’t really the focus here. Instead, the Atom aims to be durable and functional without getting in the way and that’s precisely what it does.

It would also probably be easier to justify trading performance for battery life and connectivity if the first Windows 10 on ARM devices were cheaper, smaller, or offered other benefits.

“All the ways we use technology to capture, interpret and pass data, and all the back-end systems, are not going to help drive better business and efficiencies if married to bad processes,” Stubbs says. “If you use the greatest technology without best practices on the floor, all you’re doing is creating an expensive bad process.”

Lenovo and HP are the only two other companies to ship Windows on ARM computers so far, but the Lenovo Miix 630 and HP Envy x2 are both tablets with detachable keyboards. The Asus NovaGo keyboard is built into the computer, which mean that this machine is a notebook first and a tablet second.
