The market for mobile communications is growing by the day. Here we take a look at some small digital electronic devices and accessories that will help you communicate while on the move. PDAs, and especially mobile phones, have become almost ubiquitous.
Notebook computers are another good example of the genesis of portable technology.
Some of the first notebooks available in the early 1980s weighed over 7kg and had a battery life of perhaps an hour or so. Today, you can get a much more powerful ultraportable notebook that weighs just under 2kg and has a battery life of nearly three hours. Pocket PCs are a mere fraction of the size of their original formats, and offer good features for remote working. The growing worldwide demand for handheld devices has spurred on mobile digital computing and communications manufacturers even further. New software and hardware for pocket PCs has helped bridge the gap from when these devices were considered simple diaries and address books.
