Another issue with the GPD is that they are not pushing the screen size down like this device is. In order for it to double as a phone it needs to stay small. If these ARM chips are all we have to look forward to, I’ll hedge my bets on Windows on ARM.

The software environment on the Unihertz Atom is as one might expect from a near stock installation of Android 8.1 Oreo. Aside from an additional settings menu item, called ‘Smart Assistant’, everything is as it should be on the firmware side of things. Under that menu, Unihertz has included a physical key switch toggle, an option to gradually increase volume on incoming calls, LED controls, flip to mute options, and battery saving features. That’s also where the controls for the reprogrammable red ‘PTT’ physical button are found. That can be set to launch any application while the power button can still, like almost any Android 8.1 Oreo smartphone, be used to launch the camera. The software experience itself is very smooth regardless of the relatively low-powered internals. That’s likely down to the fact that the internal components aren’t working quite so hard because of the phone’s size in terms of display output. During our test, the handset received one update that squashed some bugs with Bluetooth and other features. However, it is worth noting that the security patch on the Atom is still on ‘May 5 2018′, for now.

We formed the view that the camera technology just needs an enhanced photo app to make better automatic picture choices than it does currently, reducing the reliance on manual tinkering to get the best results.

A report from the International Data Corporation (IDC) predicts that the amount of money spent on augmented and virtual reality will double every year until it totals almost $215 billion globally in 2021. Based on the value AR brings to the supply chain, this number is not hard to imagine. As the technology evolves and becomes more widely adopted, there will also most likely be new applications for the technology that increase supply chain efficiency to an even greater degree.

You attach the Go’s keyboard in the same way you do on the Surface Pro, a streamlined process as on most detachable 2-in-1s. The Surface is among the easiest to attach and detach; some competitors make it a little clumsier than needed. The Surface Go’s board connects to the bottom of the device with a magnetic snap, and you can then adjust the keyboard to a more comfortable angle by folding a flap up against the screen and attaching it to embedded magnets there.

ATLANTA, Dec. 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — UPS (NYSE:UPS) today said it has integrated a new navigation tool called UPSNav into the handheld device its package delivery drivers carry, providing them with detailed turn-by-turn directions derived from UPS’s routing software. UPSNav reduces miles driven, fuel consumed and carbon emissions, while empowering the company to provide better service to its customers.

UPSNav works with ORION to reduce the number of miles driven on targeted routes. ORION plus UPSNav saves the company fuel and enables drivers to complete their routes faster. UPS launched UPSNav as a pilot this fall, rolling it out to about 5,000 U.S.-based drivers and some in Canada. UPS decided to expand the use of UPSNav more broadly after the successful pilot. Drivers on lower-density suburban and rural routes saw the most improvement. The tool was especially useful for drivers who were new to their routes, but every driver saw the benefits.

“It’s more appropriate for very small objects, things that are perhaps 100 millimeters, maybe a little bit smaller,” he explains. “But we can push it a little bit.”

The tablet is gorgeous. On paper, 15 inches sounds like a giant monster of a tablet, but I found it perfect for holding an article or flicking around social media during short breaks, before locking it back into the keyboard with a satisfying click to return to work. The size also means the Surface Book is big enough to comfortably view two apps side-by-side should you need to.

Given the asking price we weren’t expecting the Kong 3 to be revolutionary in any noticeable way, but it’s not junk by any standards.

This handy portable printer allows you to print full page A4 documents while on the go, and is small enough to easily fit in a briefcase or shoulder bag. It supports the MFI Bluetooth protocol, so it’s a great choice for printing wirelessly from your smartphone or Apple iOS device. There’s also USB 2.0 support for hooking up to your PC, and you can buy an additional rechargeable high-capacity battery, which gives you around 600 pages from a single charge.

Butterfly Network, a startup co-founded by MIT alumnus Nevada Sanchez ’10, SM ’11, has developed a low-cost, handheld scanner that generates clinical-quality ultrasounds on a smartphone. Ultrasounds are uploaded to the cloud, where any expert with permission can give second opinions or help analyze images.
