'High class' players

There is a heavy PDA-addicted director, always addicted to laptops. But the "fate" of Mrs. L. to this luxury hobby started from a very ordinary thing: seeing her sister busy at work, the foreign brother sent it to a PDA phone with the desire for it. will support my sister at work. Like many people, holding a huge machine, overflowing features, Ms. L. was completely "blind" because she couldn't take advantage of its advanced features.

Everybody, using high-end machines has countless suffering if . 'ignorance'. People used to show Mrs. L. online h. (network specializing in handheld devices). Drowning with a pile, Mrs. L. quickly accessed and made some acquaintances. Among them is a nick C. The idea that network members are intellectuals share a common interest in exchanging and sharing knowledge about PDAs; Who is C. is a dealer of 'monsters'.

The first time of 'counseling', C. criticized her machine with no words left. C. 'hint' gave Mrs. L. a new machine, asking her to change the old machine and the extra money. Mrs. L. 'OK'. Early fall swept tail. So, the next time C. spoiled for her advice L . Like technology, like high-life machines, met immediately 'cu Thao' (player), she L. all, change the machine continuously. Unfortunately, every old machine she bought from C. even higher prices . new machines of the same type.

Then C. 'consulted' into the laptop field. Vai-o, IBM . the most fashionable models were bought by Mrs. C. Then one day, she fell back on her face when she was pairing with a price 'drug' expert. Each C. 'medicine' she does not have less than 3 million VND. Now, Mrs. L. is not smart because of 'resting' C. But what she does is fluent in most models, if she plays, she only has a loss of no less than 1 million dong.

K. is a wealthy but simple Chinese trader. Looking at the ordinary motorbike he goes, no one thinks K. is a hand-playing fierce PDA phone. K. confided: 'Gambling, girls let go, but how much to play on the phone. Money does not matter. Love is changed '. Talking about K.'s animal, any PDA player has to stick his tongue out: K. specializes in hunting extremely poisonous goods, buying second-hand goods first. If 'OK', K. sells second hand stuff, search for the new one 100% exactly the same.

Using boredom, K. brings family and relatives to look for new things. When I was new HP 6500 appeared in Saigon, K. was able to buy with the desire to try to test the GPS system (global positioning system) to . see the map, where to get lost. But suffering, the machine is modern but the service provided by Vietnam is poor. While in foreign countries, the positioning error is only 5-10m, the 'map' of Vietnam provides for K. the addresses are wrong . kilometer. K. bored, sold flat, not less than 5 million dong after one week. K. played the new Eten M500, about 8 million VND. Eten M500 has 'rom' (Chinese font), very convenient for Chinese people to use.

K. very happy. But for a while, he discovered that it does not "upload the rom" to English because of a software error.

Perpetual numbness, K. finally got the other Eten but had to make an additional 2 million VND.

This is the story of integrating PDA with mobile phones is very beneficial for an economic student. Instead of buying a PDA phone like O2 with price of less than 10 million dong, this student plays PDA HP 3715 and a Sony Ericsson mobile phone. PDA is available for taking photos, bluetooth, wifi . To connect to texting, calling or bluetooth via mobile phone, just run the software running voice GMS. That way, you can just use your mobile phone and use Pocket PC. The price of two pieces is less than 7 million VND if it is new, if the old goods are less than 5 million VND.

Another advantage is that the two-cell battery power is much better than PDA phone - the inherent weakness of this model. Also, use a PDA phone that is cumbersome and difficult to text when walking and jerking. With this student, the weakest point is to go anywhere and stick to two machines. One belt, one for pants. Missing either is a mobile phone function that cannot be used. He complained: 'I have to touch it all the way down to see if I forgot it. Missing one is extremely inconvenient. '

Life . PDA

In fact, up to now, some amateur players still misunderstand the concepts of PDA, Pocket PC, Palm, PDA phone . The names just mentioned have seen the vastness of the technology world. Please explain this: PDA covers everything! It is divided into five main lines based on the operating system for the device: Pocket PC (Windows operating system), Palm (running Palm OS) and three other operating systems running Linux, Sybian, RIM.

Representing these lines: Pocket PC has O2, HP . Palm with Treo (the smartest PDA is the smartest in the world) and Palm One . Linux has Motorola (typically E680) . Sybian has Nokia, Sony Ericsson . RIM has Black Berry . A PDA is just a handheld computer or a digital personal assistant if it has not been integrated with the mobile phone function. Once integrated, it will be named PDA phone. Known and played first in Vietnam, only the Pocket PC phone line.

This is a bit of 'history' about PDA: since 1990s there have been Palm players in Saigon. By 2000, Pocket PC gradually became known. Until the last two years, PDA phones are well known and at this point they have spread to the point . the street has seen a 'poke' pen! The first known players of the computer: the O2 XDA has . antenna; not taking pictures, not bluetooth . Meanwhile, genuine O2 has not entered Vietnam. At the same time, Nokia has Nokia 9210 and Sony Ericsson with P 800.

When the two companies launched Nokia 9210i and P 900, the company O2 to O2 II genuine and immediately dominated the PDA phone market. A series later, O2 mini O2, O2 'S', O2 'i'. Sony Ericsson then launched the P910i - a digital 'music player'; Nokia came out with the 'modern' stone damn Nokia 9500, 9300 . At that time HP also released HP 650o (with global positioning GPS system). Lenovo went to ET 960 . Other 'standalone' products of other companies were also shipped: Pa-tech had Anextek. Then Asus P 505, Qool 700 . ("items" are only sold in the US, Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong .).

One of the most sophisticated PDA models available today is O2. Popular players should attach to each life of this line a very . mundane name: O2 XDA first called O2 'old' now. O2 mini: 'lady', 'princess', O2 XDAII - 'flip flops'. O2 Exec has a 'break neck' rotating screen. Even the O2 IIs has a sliding keyboard called 'pants drop' . One of the famous O2 players in this city doctor is Mr. G . This man is a doctor, wife makes . pharmacist selling medicine, the house has a separate office so it is not said how rich he is; On average, each month his wife earns less than 50 million.

Doing medicine, reading books, studying medicine, diagnosing diseases are indispensable . All of these things are in an O2. Needless to say how G. is addicted to this model. Since the O2 IIi appeared in Saigon, Mr. G. has sought and become one of the first owners at the price of . 1,100 USD! Then O2 launched a new machine that he kept changing: O2 IIs, O2 mini, O2 Exec . Every child who bought a new one sold no less than 300 USD, he considered a small story. Now, O2 is launched with Atom. Immediately, Mr. G. owned and is now quite satisfied with this machine.
