 Handheld device - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Handheld device (also known as handheld computer or simply handheld) is a pocket-sized computing device, typically utilising a small visual display screen for user output and a miniaturised keyboard for user input.
Along with mobile computing devices such as laptops and smartphones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) are becoming increasingly popular amongst those who require the assistance and convenience of a conventional computer, in environments where carrying one would not be practicable.
Basic Data Mobile Device: devices that have a medium-size screen (typically between 120 x 120 and 240 x 240 pixels), menu or icon-based navigation via a thumb-wheel or cursor, and which offer access to e-mail, address book, SMS, and a basic web browser.

 Mobile Devices: One Generation From Useful (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox)
The latest mobile devices are agonizingly close to being practical, but still lack key usability features required for mainstream use.
That said, navigating on the newer devices is much more pleasant than on a WAP phone: you can see more options on each screen and get the next page relatively quickly.
To succeed, mobile devices must feel like an extension of your main machine: they must provide what's required, but no more, and add the ability to reach home and grab anything you need but didn't bring.

 Data Storage for Mobile Devices
With the development of flexible display technologies and ever-smaller computer-based devices, we are only a few years away from incorporating those computer-based devices, including data storage, into the clothing that we wear or even in our bodies.
Devices such as radios and GPS are becoming intellectual property that can be incorporated into an electronic chip as needed (with antennas or other required peripheral devices also incorporated into the overall product design) or to add greater attractiveness to customers due to greater overall product functionality.
An embedded data storage device is one that is permanently a part of the electronics in the host device.

 MobileRead Networks - Developers should target mobile devices
I write software for mobile devices as part of my day job, and I've got to say that this is quite the ironic comment coming from the CTO of Motorola.
I personally wish that more developers took accessiblty and mobile devices more seriously, but until someone like MSN/Yahoo/Google makes enough fuss about it where everyone is doing it, they will keep their heads in the sand..
By "mobile computing" platform I mean something that exposes more of the power of the underlying system and makes Java competitive to native runtime environments like Symbian, Windows Mobile, and ALP.

 Chinese prefer mobile phones over landlines | InfoWorld | News | 2006-03-27 | By Dan Nystedt, IDG News Service   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Chinese users prefer their mobile phones over landline calling by a growing margin, a trend that is showing up in earnings for Chinese telecommunications companies and government statistics.
Convenience, easy access to low cost handsets, the status of talking on a mobile phone, and pure necessity for work are all reasons why Chinese users prefer mobile phones, analysts say, and the gap between those with mobiles versus landlines continues to widen.
The growth in mobile use comes despite changes at China Telecommunications Corp. that might have favored additional landline use.

 MIT Project Oxygen: H21 Mobile Devices
Because handheld devices must be small, lightweight, and power efficient, H21s come equipped with only a few perceptual and communication transducers, plus a low-power network to extend the I/O devices to which it can connect.
Software on the H21 determines the device's current location and orientation, discovers the extant communication protocols within the environment, and locates and downloads the appropriate communication and signal processing software (e.g., for AMPS or CDMA), when necessary, from other nearby H21s or E21s.
When a receiver experiences high noise on a channel, software may choose to increase the number of filter taps and clean up the signal, to drop data that won't be missed (e.g., a millisecond of voice data), to request transmission of the corrupted data, or to request a change in transmission power or modulation format.
