A PDA with a long memory

Tungsten never forgets

The Tungsten T5 handheld, from PalmOne, has 256MB of flash memory, protecting information even if the device loses its charge. It also doubles as a portable flash memory drive. The device features a

320 x 480 colour screen, Bluetooth wireless technology and a sleeker design. Users can also drag and drop files and folders between the handheld and their desktop computers using PalmOne’s new file transfer application.

Documents, PowerPoint presentations, photos and videos can be viewed in landscape or portrait mode on the display. The T5, featuring an Intel 416MHz XScale processor, carries an estimated street price of $599.

Take a snapshot, it’ll last longer

Symantec Corp.‘s LiveState Recovery family of products – its disk-based system and data recovery solutions – will capture a point-in-time operating state, or LiveState, of an entire server or desktop, which includes the operating system, applications, data and settings into one easy-to-manage file. These point-in-time snapshots are created without interrupting user productivity or application usage. Users can then perform a full system restoration, a complete bare metal recovery or retrieve individual files or folders in minutes. It usually takes hours to manually rebuild servers and workstations and restore data from conventional tape backup.

Three editions of Symantec LiveState Recovery (formerly Symantec V2i Protector) are available: Symantec LiveState Recovery Advanced Server 3.0, Symantec LiveState Recovery Standard Server 3.0, and Symantec LiveState Recovery Desktop 3.0.

Eurocom claims its latest product, the Eurocom D900, is the first notebook with the PCI Express architecture, offering up to 70 times the bandwidth of today’s PCI architecture.

The D900 features an Intel Pentium 4 processor with 1MB of cache (LGA775), two physical hard drives with up to 240GB; SATA (new interface development that runs at 1.5 GB/s in a serial mode instead of the parallel mode of the older IDE standards) or ATA support with RAID 0,1 support; two physical optical drives including slot-based 8x MULTI DVD (DVD-RAM/-RW/+-RW); two FireWire (IEEE1394a) ports and ExpressCard slot; 1 Gigabit LAN on-board, 802.11a/b/g or 802.11b/g wireless LAN and Bluetooth; and an internal web cam for video conferencing.

Canon device a communications hub

The Color imageRUNNER C3220 networked digital multifunction device and colour document management system feature Canon‘s multifunctional embedded application platform (MEAP) development architecture, a Java-based platform for which embedded applications can be specifically written.

With the C3220, applications reside on the system’s hard disk, eliminating the need, space and expense for many dedicated pieces of equipment to execute customized programs. Users can access applications directly from the main control panel, using it as a communications hub for sharing and managing information in the office.

The C3220 achieves speeds up to 32 pages-per-minute (ppm) for both colour and monochrome output, supports up to 2400 equivalent x 600-dpi output resolution, and has dual 250 MHz processors, a 40 GB Hard Disk Drive and 1GB of RAM.
