    Pda Connector Case

    Conglomerate Inc., a major U.S. wireless carrier, has teamed up with a PC manufacturer to form a joint venture, Netlink, to develop, produce and market a hybrid product integrating a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) with a “smart” cellular phone. Its first product is tentatively called ConneCtor. ConneCtor directly transmits and receives both data and voice. It is lightweight but heavier than a cell phone whose shape it emulates. It comes with a backlit grayscale LCD screen of moderate resolution. Its operating system is the PalmOS, which is common in PDAs. Thus, ConneCtor allows the user, among other things, to access the standard tools of Personal Information Management (PIM) and also performs standard cell phone functions. ConneCtor can send and receive faxes and e-mail, access the Internet, and record voice messages. Users can input data into the PDA in the following ways: • By • By • By • By using the on-screen keyboard using the numerical keypad writing on the screen (using handwriting recognition software) speaking into the phone, using a voice recorder.…

    IDEO

    Palm used IDEO to fulfill Hawkins’ vision. Within IDEO, the choice of project leader fell naturally to Dennis Boyle, a senior project leader and studio manager who had left his mark on the company with a stream of successful products and the institution of Tech Box. Boyle’s team outlined plans for a slimmer, sleeker version of the existing palm pilot. By May 1997, conceptualization and realization of the Palm V project gave way to Phase II. This stage involved computer-aided design (CAD) engineering to help create accurate industrial models resembling the proposed end product. By end of Phase IV, implementation and expected late fall 1998, “Razor” would be released to production. The palm division planned to retain some IDEO personnel for another 6 months- the amount of time projected for gearing up for market release in February 1999. In summer 1998, handspring project starts at IDEO when Jeff Hawkins asks Dennis Boyle for a proposal for proposed handheld computing device with revolutionary “Springboard” slot. And in October, 19 shipment was planned for Christmas shopping season.…

    C was a maker of Palm OS-based Visor- and Treo-branded personal digital assistants. It was run by Jeff Hawkins, Donna Dubinsky, and Ed Colligan, the original inventors of the Palm Pilot and founders of Palm Computing, after they became unhappy with the direction in which 3Com was taking the Palm division.

    Handspring Inc., 2002

    In his mind [Hawkins’s], the GRiDPad was only a first step towards his revolutionary vision for handheld computing. Due to this conviction, Hawkins developed specifications for a handheld computing device – the aptly named ZOOMER which was short for consumer (the intended market) – but the GRiD executives were against the idea of entering the consumer market. A reason enough for Hawkins to finally leave GRiD in 1992 leading to the foundation of a company named Palm Computing.…

    Tablet Pcs

    For the past few years, the Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) has grown tremendously popular. However, due to size restrictions, it has always served as a secondary device to the desktop computer. So a number of hardware manufacturers unveiled a new form of communication, the Tablet PC. What exactly is a Tablet PC? It is a notebook PC with a touch-sensitive screen and is a bit larger than the size of a sheet of paper. Tablet PCs will have two formats: the "convertible" model with an integrated keyboard and a display that rotates 180 degrees that can be folded down over the keyboard, and the "slate" style with a removable keyboard. It allows users to save their written input either as images or as converted text. It is very similar to a PDA, only larger and more powerful, and weighs less than today 's laptops yet is fully configured for PC operations and Internet applications. By combining the best qualities of a PDA and laptop, the Tablet PC can be used in applications where a laptop would be too bulky, and a PDA would not be powerful enough. In the past, field service workers with mobile devices tended to have only one application on their device. With the Tablet PC operating system, they can connect and use many more applications.…
