Chipmaker Intel is altering the specifications of its XScale processors so that handheld devices will be better able to incorporate additional features, such as Wi-Fi connectivity and integrated cameras.
Yopy, the clamshell-designed Linux handheld from G.Mate, is on display at Comdex, and rumors circulate of a Linux-based HP Jornada.
Several registered customers of the handheld maker report receiving an e-mail message advertising an upgrade to Palm OS 4.x
Ericsson has developed a small, self-contained device that communicates with PDAs, cell phones, and other devices ready for short-range wireless technology. In a effort to encourage the development of numerous third-party applications, it has made the blip an open platform, and chosen Linux as the device's internal (embedded) operating system.
No longer simply digital organisers, these latest handheld devices offer significant computing power and convenience.
Pronouncing that a given device doesn't need any more storage is a near-foolproof recipe for looking stupid somewhere down the line. However, I'm sceptical that many people need a 16GB mini-SD card for their phone.
Is Apple keeping the iPod Touch and iPhone platform closed to third party developers to protect its impressive record on security?
Channel 10's threadbare online presence stands out among the other TV networks' swish Web sites. But why?
Intel is adding to its arsenal of processors for portable devices by developing an XScale-based processor, code-named Bulverde, for handheld computers.
Not convinced Apple's iPhone is the 'must have' device it's been heralded as? We take a look at a few alternatives that provide some advantages over the iPhone in its current incarnation.
Since its release, the iPhone has had more than its share of press. Love it or hate it, everyone's been talking about it and looking at its sleek, colourful interface, it's hard not to fall in love with it. But like most decisions based on emotion, buying one may not be the smartest thing to do at least, not yet.
In this special review, we round up the various authentication devices on the market.
Not the flashiest phone around, but its jaw-dropping price, ease of use and vast software ecosystem, make it a good choice for first time smartphone buyers and Palm OS aficionados alike.
Decent performance, GPS and good connectivity are a plus for a handset with yesterday's heavy-set PDA aesthetics.
A sexy, full-featured smartphone that sorely needs faster Web access.
RIM has incrementally upgraded the BlackBerry Curve with the addition of a GPS receiver, although we're still waiting for 3G connectivity.
With a faster processor, the Xda Zinc has a slight performance edge over the Dopod 838 Pro but falls short by a slight margin in terms of aesthetics. Unless you're looking for a QWERTY handheld, there are more options out there.
