About the White Paper:
The advent of fast, power-thrifty microprocessors has made possible pocket-size computers with performance approaching that of desktop PCs. This new class of mobile computers enables applications and user-interface modalities not feasible with traditional personal digital assistants and cell phones, while placing new demands on batteries and power management. We built Compaq's Itsy pocket computer research prototype to explore the possibilities, demands, and limitations of mobile computing. |
