| The pdQ Smartphone 800
will be a combination Palm computer and digital/analog cell phone while the pdQ
1900 will be a pure digital phone. The Smartphone is much like a PalmPilot handheld comptuer but with an antenna and a folding telephone keypad--or, conversely, a cell phone with a screen in the middle, depending on your perspective. Users can access email and view Web sites, as well as store address information with the built-in software. For handheld functions, the Smartphone pretty much works the same way as a PalmPilot. Users key in functions and commands with a stylus, and synchronizing data with the desktop PC is also possible. Applications that run on standard PalmPilots will work on the new device, the company said. The attached keypad, however, is for the phone functions. Measuring 6.2-inches long, 2.5-inches wide and weighing 8.2
ounces, the device is larger and slightly heavier than the average cutting-edge cell phone
in order to accommodate a screen, which sits in the center of the device.
