Intel is developing a new type of handheld computers

The concept of mobile computing Carry Small, Live Large company Intel is developing a new type of handheld computers (PDA), reports The Register. The concept was presented at the briefing on the research in the field of mobile, held in advance of the Intel Developer Forum to be held April 2-3 in Shanghai.

Emphasis in the program Carry Small, Live Large is given to technologies that will create intuitive computing devices that can interact with the environment as well as their owners. It is expected that such gadgets will remind PDA, but will become more sophisticated.

The new device will not be simply serve as a repository of personal information, notebook Record and used for reading electronic books for as their colleagues today. Installed in conjunction GPS-Google Maps will identify the location, lay route, and to change it, depending on the current situation on the roads.

Gadget get some modules connection that will allow it to automatically switch between Wi-Fi, WiMAX and 3G. This device itself will clarify weather, and, if necessary, advise take an umbrella.

To implement this project Intel develops compact devices that support multiple wireless radio standards with a single chip, consuming far less power than today's counterparts.

At the briefing were shown two prototypes of such devices: Multiband, energy efficiency transceiver, which Intel realized the results of the research in the field of digital wireless radio communication, as well as power amplifier and ADC with a spectrum analyzer.

Intel representatives also demonstrated a wireless chip that can transmit data at 60 - gigagertsevoy lane at the speed of about five gigabits per second.

The first serial device called MessagePad. On Apple companies issued from 1993 to 1998. At the core of the computer lying ARM RISC processor 610. He worked on the platform Newton MessagePad.
