Pocket PC.
A variation of the
palmtop organizer. Only this one runs
WinCE, and is much more flexible than a Palm Pilot. Actually, you can run almost anything on a PPC. Most have
pentium-compatible CPU and standard
RAM. They come in handy when you are trying to organize your
calendar, and most synchronize directly with your
Microsoft Outlook through
USB or
Infrared Port, which most PPC's sport nowadays. You can also run a variety of
applications which are ported to WinCE, which also allows you to
work with a multitude of standard Windows files, including txt, doc, xml, among many others.
Some can even support
wireless modems and include Internet Explorer, so you can browse the web from the palm of your hand.
Or you can just shove a 256 MB
compact flash card into it, and load it up with music out the wazoo. At least thats what I did, besides do my schedule, edit doc,
html and xml files, and play games. Oh, it comes in handy on
midterms too!
