NVIDIA Unleashes Tegra at E3

David Flowers — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 11:59:46 +0000

A who did what? Huh? Ok, so Tegra itself is not a gadget, and many of you have probably never heard of it. We talked about it a little bit in The Gadgeteer’s ZuneHD Rumor Mill Roundup a while back. What Tegra is, is a platform, an entire system on a chip, geared for mobility. There are two Tegra variations at this point: … [visit site to read more]

Sharp Zaurus SL-C3100

icruise — Mon, 10 Oct 2005 19:39:00 +0000

The SL-C3100 is the latest entry in Sharp’s line of Zaurus PDAs. Sharp sold
Zaurus PDAs in the US for a while, but decided to pull out of the US market
2 or 3 years ago. Interestingly, though, there are still many importers bringing
Zauruses to the US and Europe, and there is still an active community of Zaurus
users and developers. This is partially because the Zaurus offers a form-factor
that doesn’t exist in any other PDA, but the main reason is that Sharp decided
to scrap … [visit site to read more]

Sharp C700 Zaurus Review

Jeffrey Friedman — Fri, 07 Feb 2003 06:00:00 +0000

As a longtime user of the HP200 and its predecessors the
HP100 and HP95 (since the late ‘80s), I have been looking for a replacement for
these seriously obsolete machines. A PDA which would keep the advantages of a
useable keyboard, a real operating system (like the HP’s DOS) with wide software
choices, while giving me some of the new PDA plusses of a color backlit screen,
smaller size, faster chips, and better link to my desktop PC.

Extreme Limit Metal & Leather Zaurus Gadget Case Review

Julie — Mon, 25 Nov 2002 06:00:00 +0000

I recently reviewed
a Sharp Zaurus specific metal and leather case from
Extreme Limit. Now they have made a
new metal and leather case available. This one is called the Gadget Case. It
looks very similar to the original case, but is marketed as more of a gear case
then an actual PDA case. It can however hold the Zaurus or any other similarly
sized PDA though. Its overall … [visit site to read more]

PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) have sure come a long way since the
chicklet keyed Sharp Wizard clamshell devices. Way back in 1988, when the Wizard
was first introduced, these devices weren’t even called PDAs. Instead, they were
called Electronic Organizers. At that time, the Wizard was king, and a … [visit site to read more]

The German company Rotring has created a 4-in-1

instruments since 1928. The Quattro-Pen Data is a stylus, pen, pencil, and highlighter in

PDA Panache seems to put out some of the best
PDA styli around. They’ve just come out with a few new offerings that I’m sure
you’ll be interested in checking out. I’ve already posted a review of their new Casio E series styli for the
Casio Palm size PC so I won’t be including it in this review. What I will include is
