	Classroom Solutions - K12 Handhelds
		If students are directed to purchase their own handhelds, it is important for the school to issue purchasing guidelines that include information such as requirements for the operating system, minimum memory, expansion, and software.
		If handhelds are going to be transported frequently, used in outdoor environments, or otherwise used in a potentially rough manner, cases are recommended.
		Since each handheld comes with a cradle or cable, you aren't likely to be short of them, and may even want to check them out to students for home use.

		It came after SNK's original Neo Geo Pocket monochrome handheld, which debuted in 1998 in Japan (and was released in the USA in 1999).

		Handhelds are small portable computers, usually handheld or pocket-size, that organize data, such as your schedule, appointment calendar, address book, and to-do list, and often include connections to your desktop PC or to the Internet.
		Many handhelds are designed with the assumption that you'll check e-mail through your desktop PC and download the messages to your handheld for future reading.
		Most palm-size handhelds with standard functionality are in the middle, between $250 and $550, with memory and display type primarily determining the cost.

	A List Apart: Articles: Pocket-Sized Design: Taking Your Website to the Small Screen
		The main limitation of a handheld device is the small screen, which may also lack a mechanism for horizontal scrolling.
		Because their screens are small and the device may not always have a horizontal scrolling mechanism, overflow in the horizontal direction is a major problem on handhelds.
		Keyboard events don’t necessarily apply, either; interaction on handhelds is often only with a stylus, which does not track keypress or hover events and cannot right-click or double-click.

	Education World® : Technology in the Classroom : Handhelds in the Classroom
		Handhelds -- also called handheld computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs) -- are small enough to hold in one hand and lightweight enough to carry in a pocket, purse, or briefcase.
		Although connecting one handheld device to a computer is easy, trying to set up many individual devices for an entire class is far more difficult.
		This seems to have assisted the careful use of the handhelds by students." Engle adds that the results of the study would be posted on the school Web site at the end of the school year.

	Novell ZENworks® for Handhelds
		ZENworks for Handhelds also uses IP to communicate between the Handheld Client and the Proxy Client when IP connectivity is available on the handheld device.
		As new handhelds are purchased, or as replacement devices are acquired to replace lost or stolen units, you need a way to load standard applications and data files on those devices.
		For example, if you receive a notification from your handheld vendor that firmware upgrades are required, you can analyze the inventory of your mobile fleet to determine which clients require this particular update-preventing problems before they occur without relying on users to take action.

	Engadget
		In yet another move designed to expedite the adoption of networked technology in developing countries (and probably to garner some positive PR as well), semiconductor giant Intel is working with Middle Eastern software companies to create an electronic version of the Qur'an for use in Saudi Arabia.
		The device, known as the E-Quran, is a handheld, low-power computer similar to the Xell Bible Master B10, which contains the full text of the Islamic holy book along with audio versions in 40 languages and interactive, interpretive material.
		While this thing would cause some serious shakeup in the handheld navigation world if it all panned out, we're taking this yet-to-be-priced, and currently unavailable device with a few throws of salt for now.

		It does not have the stellar screen of the 72, but, for students or newbies to the handheld world, it would be a good entry level model.
		The Margi is easy to use, but it limits the size of your presentation since the presentation has to fit on the handheld itself.
		The screen is as good as any palmOne handheld, it has 32mb RAM, it includes stereo sound, and comes with a CD chock full of add-on applications (full versions!) including Handmark's Mobile DB, Kinoma Producer and Player, and Dataviz Documents to Go, among others.

	BenQ P50 - Review : Handhelds - CNET Asia
		A nice touch on BenQ's part is surrounding the edge of the P50 with a strip of slip-resistant material, which provided us with a good grip on the PDA during use.
		The tiny buttons on the P50's keypad, similar to the ones found on the Treo 650, are so cramped that it's a pain to type text documents of considerable length.
		Like most handhelds, the P50 comes with an integrated slot on the top right for the stylus.
