Conglomerate Inc – New PDA 1 Introduction
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.
An additional feature of ConneCtor is its ability to establish wireless links to other ConneCtors for voice and data transfer or to cell phones for voice transfer. For direct data transfer, the product includes an infrared port and also ships with a USB synchronization cradle. In summary, the key features of ConneCtor are: • Instant communication for voice and data • Cell phone, pager, fax and e-mail, and instant messaging • PIM functions • Digital voice recorder • Enabled voice commands • PalmOS application base.
The History of the PDA
The Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) is basically a hand-held computer. In 1984, the first PDA, the Psion1, was introduced. It could store addresses and phone numbers, keep a calendar, and included a clock and calculator. In 1993, Apple introduced the Newton PDA, which was too bulky, too expensive and had handwriting
