Brill, isn't it?</div><div></div><div>Here's a link to <a href="http://www.parvus.com/products/ProductPage.aspx?ProductID=117">PARVUS</a> who make the thing. It can support Windows CE or Linux, has a touch screen, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and an integrated GPS.</div><div></div><div>For my money ( which ain't a lot) I think the ergonomics are a bit screwy, and the thing needs to be a bit longer in the length department, and a bit narrower in the width department. But it ain't half bad. It needs to be a little less obtrusive, so it doesn't look like you're wearing a Blood Pressure Monitor full time, which would be a bit sad.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6678260699609463684-2876051472586503402?l=subnotebook.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Author-Geraldnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678260699609463684.post-20397221253131043642007-05-02T16:59:00.000-07:002007-05-02T17:00:27.731-07:00This blog is all about teeny tiny computers - the sort you can hold in the palm of your hand.
