PDAs, The Empowering Tool
Compaq introduced iPAQ in 1999. It is both a personal digital assistant (PDA) and a pocket personal computer as well. Compaq was acquired by Hewlett Packard. The products are now are now marketed under the brand name of HP. iPAQ combines mobile phone, palm top computer, PDA and smart phone. It also has a card reader, GPS facility, Bluetooth interface and wireless networking. The Microsoft Windows interface is used to provide the benefits of multimedia capabilities.
PDAs have numerous applications. The nature of applications can also be tailored by its users. PDAs are used in medicine. It assists in the selection of drug, diagnosis of disease and treatment. It can record symptoms and offer information on treatments. PDAs are also being used in the field of education, particularly by students. It can do such tasks as spell-check, digital note taking and its modification, e-books storage and use, dictionaries, word processing, digital planning lessons and many others. PDAs are used in sports such as pre-flight planning as well as in assisting glider pilots in navigation linked to GPS, and calculate speed, distance, and time, and GPS assisted navigation for road rallyists.
Digital Equipment Corporation Western Research Laboratory (WRL) developed iPaq originally. It runs on an Intel Pentium III processor or an Intel Celeron processor with a processing speed of 500 MHz to 1 GHz. It has a memory ranging from 128 MB to as much as 512 MB. The memory can be upgraded also. Some of the popular handheld PDA gadgets are Palm TX Handheld, HP iPAQ 111 Classic Handheld, Nokia N810 Portable Internet Tablet, Palm Tungsten E2 Handheld, Asus A626 3.5-inch PDA Windows Mobile 6.0, HP iPAQ 210 Enterprise Handheld, Sony Ericsson C905i Unlocked Cell Phone and Nokia 02700T6 N810 WiMAX Edition Portable Internet Tablet.
The ways mobile technologies have developed have impacted lifestyles in both work and play. Mobile shopping and mobile banking has become convenient both in terms of saving time and energy. Web surfing for as varied purposes as knowing the sports score, and getting weather reports and stock quotes using PDAs is becoming common. In fact, PDA is becoming an indispensable gadget for our activities and functioning.
Things CPU architects need to think about (Metafilter)
Things CPU architects need to think about. Bob Colwell gave this lecture in
2004, for the Stanford University Computer Systems Colloquium (EE380). Colwell
was the chief architect of the Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III, and
Pentium 4 processors. [About 90 minutes, Windows Media format]
This lecture covers many topics, and although it contains a lot of CPU
architecture terminology, I think it'll make sense to any kind of computer
geek.
Topics covered include:
* Exponential growth in CPU performance has come with exponential growth in
transistor count, power dissipation, complexity, design cost, and bugs. The
market may not want to keep paying lots of money for performance once it's
good enough, and those exponential trends aren't sustainable anyway. So what
do we do next?
* Faster chips don't come from a single big idea any more, they come from
lots of little ideas put together. But these little ideas interact in odd ways
that are difficult to predict and even more difficult to fix when performance
problems occur.
* Products have to be ready to produce as soon as the factory is ready to
make them. This leads to design compromises ...
