We live in an incredible shrinking world, in the sense that technology like the Internet is bringing us all closer together and expanding our means of communication.

Import!

Catching Up to the Future
The handheld industry certainly has come a long way, hasn’t it? The first devices didn’t even have backlit screens, and they certainly weren’t color. Now we have an amazing array of choices: color or mono screen, 2MB to 16MB of memory, Bluetooth, integrated cameras and keyboards, you name it. I can imagine that for the first time buyer, choosing the right handheld can be a very difficult task. And things just got a little bit harder— handheld, handheld connected to a phone by cable/Bluetooth, or integrated Palm OS Device/phone, all in one unit. Which to choose?

TPGGTR Part 4 Close, But No Cigar
I’ve been living with an iPAQ Pocket PC that’s been upgraded to a beta version of the new Pocket PC 2002 OS for a couple of weeks now, and it’s been an enjoyable experience. It’s obvious that Microsoft is really listening to people and trying to make a superb handheld device. Some of the new features, such as the Block Recognizer (essentially built-in Graffiti support) and Bubble alerts are a large step forward. Other improvements, though relatively minor, such as adding a volume control to the Start bar at the top of the screen, still make working with the Pocket PC platform much easier.
