„On the feature front, at least half of the over-$300 handhelds on the market should have wireless networking by early next year. Someone, probably Dell, will push that down to $200 or so later in the year. Integrated mini-keyboards will become more popular; right now, HP's 4355 is the only PocketPC with one, although Palm has one and Sony has quite a few (NX/NZ series, TG50, UX series).“

„Thus, while traditional, PC-like thin clients will continue to find applicability to specific enterprise challenges, mobile and handheld devices will rely extensively on internally developed enterprise support. IT executives are likely to continue to choose their enterprise application wireless enablement initiatives carefully through 2002, as they wait for further clarity from application purveyors, client device vendors, development tool providers, and/or standards bodies. IT executives are likely to place greater scrutiny on the ROI and return on value (ROV) of such initiatives as well.“http://www.rfgonline.com/subsforum/archive/daily/121701/ 122101nt.html - Cached
„However, they can often still use their fingers to control a pencil or stylus, and thus can use a handheld computer such as a Palm. We have developed software that allows the handheld to substitute for the mouse and keyboard of a PC, and tested it with four people (ages 10, 12, 27 and 53) with MD. The 12-year old had lost the ability to use a mouse and keyboard, but with our software, he was able to use the Palm to access email, the web and computer games.“http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~pebbles/papers/pebblesassetshtml/ pebblesassets.html - Cached
„Wireless operators obviously prefer solutions that uses their own wireless network, but the cost is too expensive at this point, especially considering mega-pixel cameras.
