The laptop wouldn’t be what it is today without the development of
certain key technologies. In 1989, this company was the first to introduce an active matrix 640 x 400 screen. (It’s also the name
of a red fruit)
In 1994, this company was the
first to introduce CD-Rom’s into laptops with the “Thinkpad 755”. In 1995, they also produced the
“butterfly” keyboard which folded out of its base origami
style.
This was the first pocket PC to be mass produced in North America. It uses a Microsoft Windows interface
and allow the user to download games, software and ebooks.
President Barack Obama recently won a battle to keep this hand-
held device for his personal use. He is limited to using the device for emailing personal friends and
senior White-House staff.
This device is designed for low power consumption. It has a range
of 1 to 100 meters and uses low- cost transceiver microchips. The device
uses a radio broadcast communications system to
communicate with other devices without having to be in the “line of
sight” of each other.
These networks are the foundation and principle of
mobile computing. They allow data to be transferred between devices without the use of hard
lines.
This is a technology that recreates a user environment and allows you to run a wide
range of software applications, even those that would have required standard installation. With it, you have the ability to take almost
any program with you and run it on virtually any machine that offers USB support. You
also have the added convenience of needing only an extremely small USB device that can
be held in the palm of your hand.
This is the software-based mobile technology that allows a user to connect to a home or office PC and work as though they were
right in front of it, by providing direct access or by recreating the
remote desktop on the local workstation.
This Future application for Google’s open-source Android mobile-phone operating system, will track your friends on a map by picking up GPS signals from
other Android phones, so you can search for nearby parties.
This Pentop computer it features a calculator, notepad, scheduler, keyboard with rhythm section and drums, journal, math and
social studies teacher and Spanish dictionary
This app will send you reminders based on location instead of time. For example, as you approach a grocery store, it will remind you
to pick up milk.
