Many people may wonder, what indeed the difference between Personal Digital Asistant (PDA) with mobile phone or smart phone? Indeed, perhaps, the differences lie only in the history when they both appear. Later, the gadget complete itself with the ability to send e-mail, music, camera, video, GPS, to run the program office.
PDA phone started from creation of a gadget with the main function of the work as the assistant to keep notes and run office applications (office). Then, the PDA equipped its functions with telecommunications.
Smartphones are relatively simple rather PDA phone,” said Iqbal Willis, a gadgets observer.
Other difference lies in the performance. Appear since the beginning, with the presence of sticky PDA touch screen or touch screen. While the smartphone does not generally rely on touch screen but the existence of sticky Qwerty keyboard.
But now, good smartphone and PDA phone market shoot the same market. Both using the same weapons. For example: a camera, music, GPS and so on. Lalu, apa pertimbangan untuk memilihnya? Then what the consideration we need to select?
Here are some tips you need to know:
First, identify your needs first. Apakah kebutuhan untuk memiliki perangkat sepintar itu dan semahal itu memang cukup mendesak? Does your need to have a device that smart and expensive is urgent enough?
Some smartphone or PDA phone may offers the ability to play music or camera but if you do not need the office, it is better to buy a multimedia mobile phone.
Take a note at the operating system, either the Symbian, Linux or Windows Mobile. Then see the external memory. If internal memory is big enough you may not need the external. But if internal memory small in capacity, it’s good that you can select the phone with external memory.
Third, the ability of the data connection, be it GPRS, HSDPA or WiFi. Also check does it have channel connection, bluetooth, USB, or infrared. No less important feature of completeness, from the standard function for messaging, phone, e-mail, and especially for the office.
Fourth, body. Clear wide screen and plus body slim and lightweight is more curvaceous rather than absorbed.
Fifth, of course, Find the price which is commensurate with the feature, plus match with our budget.

BRUSSELS - Intel Corp. was fined a record $1.45 billion by the European Union on Wednesday for using strong-arm sales tactics in the computer chip market — a penalty that could turn up the pressure on U.S. regulators to go after the company, too.
The fine against the world’s biggest chip maker represents a huge victory for Intel’s Silicon Valley rival, Advanced Micro Devices Inc., or AMD, the No. 2 supplier of microprocessors to PC makers.
AMD has sued Intel and lobbied regulators around the world for the past five years, complaining that Intel was penalizing PC makers in the U.S. and abroad for doing business with AMD. More Story continues here
• 1 GHz processor (32- or 64-bit)
• 1 GB of RAM (32-bit); 2 GB of RAM (64-bit)
• 16 GB of available disk space (32-bit); 20 GB of available disk space (64-bit)
• DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
They're a little bit different from the minimum specs put out for the January beta, in that it slightly pumps up the requirements for the 64-bit version of the OS (but you want at least 4GB of RAM to really take advantage of 64-bit anyway). You'll notice they're practically the same as the requirements for Vista, but unlike Vista don't vary from version to version—these are the specs for every version of Windows 7. You can see how each OS fares on the same hardware right here, for something more concrete
And, while these specs might have been steep when Vista arrived, but if your computer doesn't meet them at this point, it's time to buy a new one (with Windows 7 installed, natch). [ZDNet]
Cybersecurity expert Marcus Sachs broke the news at a security conference in San Francisco, raising the question of what would happen if this were to happen to millions of machines in the medical industry. According to sachs, the devices affected were hospital computers and devices used to control critical equipment, such as heart monitors and MRI machines.
No one is quite sure how the computers acquired the worms to begin with, but most of the Windows 2000/NT machines were to old to benefit from Microsoft's October patch which fixed many of the vulnerabilities Conficker preyed on. [Cnet via Slashdot]
My Comment:
1) Why are critical hospital devices connected to the Internet?. They still have anti-virus programs, for those dumber students who choose to not scan their flash drives. Any critical devices should be kept in quarantine (never connected to the web).
2) Why aren't critical hospital devices updated more frequently if they are connected to the web. I mean, it's not that hard, and it prevents crap like this from happening.
