Almost
nobody discusses him. Hand computers, new access devices to Internet
and portable reproducers of digital music (especially MP3) they
took the center of the scene in PC
EXPO 2000, a biannual exhibition that finished last Thursday
in New York. To the point that the sample had very few announcements
about the properly this PCs.
Is
the PCs a species in extinction danger?Nobody is so severe in this
respect. The specialists say, on the other hand that the venerable
personal computer will go giving some from their functions to the
new hand teams (or in the case of the WatchPad, of IBM,
of bracelet"). These new devices will also accompany to the PC and
they will add him virtues.
Not
in vain, the most resonant conference gave it Jeff Hawkins, anything
less than the inventor of the Palm,
the device of more sold pocket of the world. Considered a " eminent
person ", Hawkins went away Palm Computing year ago, company that
was founded, to create
Handspring, a new company that recovers the initial spirit of
Palm". In his new adventure it was not him so bad, when his products
arrived to the stores they overcame the sales of teams Palm.

 "The
future of the personal calculation" |
| A
couple of ideas was marked to fire in Jeff Hawkins's words. The first
one: "It is necessary to look for that the pocket computers are simple
and easy of using". The second: "The current situation of these teams
is similar to those of the desk computers 20 years ago." |
| Why
simple computers? According to Hawkins, because it is better for the
user to add some few very practical utilities that to only load to
a computer of pocket of eccentric accessories because it is technically
possible". being Based on this idea, the inventor of the hand calculation
pled to subtract importance to the hardware specifications and the
speed of a processor and, on the other hand, to emphasize all that
sinks use easiness. Also, it predicted that the hand devices, I eat
before they made it the desk computers, they will lower their prices.
And he/she added a statement that could be a summary of the last launchings
of hand teams: "The wireless access to Internet will shoot the sales
of the personal organizers in the same way in that the connection
to Internet made grow the popularity of the desk computers." |
| For
not singing out of tune with that proverb, Handspring, the company
of Hawkins, announced that its teams Finder will have wireless access
to Internet through cellular telephones, besides an engraver of incorporate
audio and colorful screens, detail all that little time behind began
to incorporate the Palm. On purpose of Palm Computing, this company
began to complete a recent promise: the Palm showed Mobile Internet
Kit that will be sold in the entire world in order to year for near
50 dollars and it will allow to be connected the Web with a cellular
telephone for an infrared port or a modem that it will be sold for
separate. Who use it, they will enjoy the on-line contents of -for
now - 37 places web related to the services. But besides the products
of Handspring and Palm, other makers promised to place novelties in
