2001 was a blockbuster year for technology releases, with several markets experiencing a glut of new product arrivals. ZDNet Australia takes a look back at the latest offerings in PDAs, mobile phones, chips, software and other hardware.
The Federal Communications Commission, which earlier this week approved new wireless handhelds from Palm and Handspring, has now set aside its ruling.
The company has received regulatory approval for two personal digital assistants that combine mobile phone, Web browsing and traditional organiser functions, ZDNet has learned.
If you spend enough time in and around the personal computer industry, you will invariably get so jaded that very few things can evoke interest, enthusiasm, or even excitement.
Linux Labs has released a beta version of a Web browser for wireless-enabled Palm handhelds.
Most innovative of the personal assistants running Palm OS, the Treo 180 is a PDA-mobile phone hybrid success. It's expected to arrive in Australia at the end of March but Handspring is keeping its price close to its figurative chest.
In general, Handspring keeps a pretty tight lid on new product .However, in the case of the rumored smart phones, called Treos, the company is announcing them well in advance of their early 2002 on-sale date.
Delivering on promises to become more focused on wireless communications, Handspring plans on Monday to announce devices that combine a handheld organiser, a cell phone and Web browsing, according to sources.
The Handspring VisorPhone takes a Handspring Visor and adds a wireless voice and data to it using its Springboard expansion slot. The result is a sensible, easy-to-use, and powerful wireless phone that will appeal to PDA-centric people.
