Access to files on a network with handheld

Wi-Fi at home: the bonus features, Part 2
Unlike the PC PDAs are not equipped with the normal built-in access to shared network resources, so no special software we can not do. Personally, I prefer to use for network surfing file manager Resco Explorer. Despite the fact that I have is a little outdated software versions, as PDAs from Dell when installing honestly warned me, there are no obvious problems in the work I have not discovered.
    So, after running the program in the main window, you are offered for viewing several species drop directories:
  • My Device - to view the files on your PDA and memory cards
  • My Network - search for available computers and its shared "folder on the network
  • My Registry - Registry Tools
  • My FTP Locations - access ftp servers.
We are interested in the folder My Network. Click on it and hold the stylus for a while. There is a drop-down menu where we choose Map Drive.
Wi-Fi at home: the bonus features, Part 2
After receiving this command, Resco Explorer, similar to Windows XP, searches for computers on the network and provides a list of them. Come on any one found a PC, select the desired folder and press Share, ie, access. In this case, the selected folder is placed in the list of My Network, and all its contents immediately becomes available to you. To possible requests from programs "name" and "password" when accessing network resources (computers), if you are not set, ignore, push "OK".

The files you can select and copy itself to your PDA or memory card.
Wi-Fi at home: the bonus features, Part 2
You can also open files remotely. If the data file extension asotsiirovana program, it will start. For example, when you click on the mp3 file, just run Windows Media Player and start listening. Access to network resources can be made ​​with the built-in Windows Mobile. This, however, less convenient. First, you need to know in advance the name of the computer to which you want to access. Then you start the File Explorer and in the menu (below), select Open. In the resulting window, type the computer name.
Wi-Fi at home: the bonus features, Part 2
And the press - "OK". After a moment you are available to all public access directory. You go to any and copy any files on your PDA.
Wi-Fi at home: the bonus features, Part 2
The second disadvantage is waiting for you when using File Explorer, - is that run directly on the play (the same mp3-file) or simply open a file on a network you do not succeed (at least for me it did not work). Must first copy on the PDA.

Access to FTP resources

Unfortunately, access to the FTP network resources using Resco Explorer I could not. However, this is not a reason to be upset. With the FTP successfully manages your browser Internet Explorer, need only enter in the address bar the name of a network resource, as shown in the picture below.
Wi-Fi at home: the bonus features, Part 2
In the program, you will have access to all subdirectories and files. Any files can be downloaded directly to your PDA by simply clicking on them. You can even put a tick in the «Open file after download», that is, run the file after downloading.

Direct connection to a "computer-computer via Wi-Fi

Imagine that you have no access point and buying it is not expected. But you have found two PDAs with Wi-Fi or Pocket PC and desktop PC (laptop) with wireless module. In such a situation any of these two devices also can be connected to the network. This type of connection is called "computer to computer. Let's look at what the settings should be made when necessary to connect, for example, a desktop (laptop) and Pocket PC Dell Axim X50v. First, the settings on your PC. Install drivers and plug the Wi-Fi adapter to your desktop computer. On the Windows message about the possible attention of the detected networks do not pay attention. After installing the adapter in "Network Neighborhood" on the desktop there is a new icon of the wireless connection. Click the right mouse button and select "Properties."

To access the Internet with this connection you need on the desktop to perform on the network card connected to your ISP, the same procedure as described in the chapter "Simple Connection", in the first part of this article.

Synchronize PDA and desktop via Wi-Fi

Synchronizing via Wi-Fi between the handheld and desktop computers is carried out only in manual mode. This means that every time you have to run it independently via ActiveSync on the mobile computer. The order of organization of communication - the next one. To begin insert PDA into the cradle and perform a full sync (no link "guest") with personalkoy. In the course of the dialogue select - Synchronize with your computer "and then point out specifically what we are synchronizing. Once the process of data transfer is complete, take out the CCP from the cradle (sync when it breaks), we go on it in the menu of ActiveSync - Tools - Options.

Conclusion

I hope that this manual has helped you to deal with most zakovyk associated with the organization, connecting, and handheld computers (not only) in the W-Fi wireless networks. The main emphasis in the material was made ​​based on what how to make the equipment work properly, and almost no attention was paid to the important question of how wireless security. The thing that is mentioned here Encryption WEP - this is the easiest and very unreliable way to protect against unauthorized access. Therefore, if you want to feel protected, I recommend you continue to learn the material, focusing on security Wi-Fi, the benefit that the internet they abound. The authors, translation:

Original article is at www.compuferra.ru I did not discover America if I say that now on the PDA market competing three platforms - Palm, Psion and Windows CE. And yet, I remind you that the first PDA (personal digital assistant) was the Newton Message Pad from Apple. He has long remained a unique product, while at the scene did not come out Palm Pilot (some call it degraded "Newton"). Newton was introduced in 1993 at the exhibition «MacWorld» in Boston, and the first 5000 copies of this revolutionary device broke in just two hours and costs $ 800. Was released eight models, while in early 1998, Apple does not officially turned in this direction. The reasons for such an action goes a lot of legends, right up to the fact that Gates bought from Jobs' PDA market for half a billion dollars, but significantly it is not known.

My personal acquaintance with the "Newton" came quite by accident. Once seen online ad to sell Newton 120, out of pure curiosity, I contacted the seller, and to his own surprise, agreed to buy this "gadget". In general, I had no plans to purchase the handheld, but the price at which we agreed ($ 50) contributed to the satisfaction of my curiosity. So, agreeing, I climbed into the Internet to find out what it is I bought. I assumed that the "Newton" - it is something archaic, large, limited in scope, not very comfortable, exotic and "Mac-oriented. As I found out as we learn, and subsequently using the "Newton", for the most part it is not so, but first things first. Information about the "Newton" in the Russian press and Runet disappointingly small, and because of this over three years now "dead" platform is still available new and updated old software, written drivers, system updates, and even beyond the new "Iron"! Done it all, not only by enthusiasts, many of which, but commercial firms (of course, Apple itself this is no longer involved). Users "Newton" Worldwide, there are several hundred thousand, and many had to try Palm, Pocket PC, Psion and still returned to the "abandoned" the platform, as could not find in other devices desired functionality and / or convenience. In hardware "Newton" is similar to any modern PDA, which is not surprising, since he was the first - all others with this or that only successfully adopted the architectural features of such devices. The first generation of "Newton" is called MP (Message Pad) 1x0, he is treated models 100, 110, 120 and 130. The second generation - MP 2x00, or MP 2k, it's Newton 2000 and 2100. Of special note is eMate 300, which in architecture is more similar to the MP 2k, but it's easier and has a built-in keyboard. The main difference between these two generations is that the MP 2x00 is "just more": a faster processor (161 MHz, already!), Bigger screen, more memory, more expansion slots and, therefore, slightly larger sizes (for details see table).

Any "Newton" has two kinds of memory: SRAM, which is powered by batteries, and non-volatile flash memory. SRAM used by the system and the user is unavailable and the user data and programs stored in flash. Therefore, the chance of losing information stored in the "Newton" is very difficult: even if you take out the main and backup batteries, data in flash memory are saved. The only thing you can lose with such dietary manipulation - is some of the settings and system updates, if they are installed. Memory expandable with PC-Card (up to 32 MB), but, unfortunately, "Newton" can only use the linear flash memory, which is uncommon and quite expensive.

For the middle of the last decade, there is nothing unusual in that to communicate with the outside world - with a desktop computer (for data synchronization, import and export documents, the installation program), the output to a printer, external modem, keyboard and other devices (eg, GPS receiver) - "Newton" was equipped with a serial port. Infrared same port at the time was the best solution: it can be used to transmit data between the two "Newton" or the print on some printers that support the protocol IrDA (only MP 2x00 and eMate). Communication with the computer via an infrared port in the ability to "Newton" is not included, and although there are programs that implement this feature, they are inconvenient. In addition, there is a program that allows "Newton" to communicate over the IR port Palm-cars and a number of other devices. For connecting modems, network cards, etc. used slot PCMCIA Type II, in the MP 2x00 such slots or two. But the main thing, "Newton" is not "iron", which by today's standards is really outdated, and the operating system. Here also is the division into two generations - Newton OS 1.x and 2.x (see the same table). Functional differences between the systems are expressed mainly in improving the quality of handwriting recognition and support for Internet protocols. In addition, improved built-in applications: planner, address book, etc., and also established them more closely interact with each other. Newton OS 2.x runs noticeably faster than the first version, especially on the same recognition. Describing the functions of the system I will mainly rely on a second version of the OS, as it was with her I had an affair. The operating system and embedded applications in all the "Newton" are in the ROM-chip on the motherboard, so the software update system can not (at the time Apple «upgrade" of certain models fresh OS, but it was necessary to send them a "Newton", and vice versa He returned the superseding ROM chip). However, small updates the system with bug fixes and some new features (for example, support for more internal memory) can be installed into the internal SRAM memory. Newton OS was very progressive for its time. Firstly, it is completely "Unicode", ie supports fonts and text format only Unicode. Theoretically, this should facilitate the localization of the product, but in fact only complicate it, mainly because of inadequate support for Unicode standard operating systems for "large" computers (like Windows, and Mac OS). Second, the programming language for the Newton OS - Newton Script - like in Java, that is, programs for the "Newton" (including the built-in) are compiled into machine code by the Newton OS at the moment of execution. So in theory when porting Newton OS to another hardware platform (eg processor from Motorola) all the old programs will be successful in her work without any modifications. Programmers also praised the language and environment Newton Script Developer Newton ToolKit for ease and convenience. This is probably why a variety of programs and utilities for the "Newton" vast.

Extras, an analog of the file manager
File system as such in the "Newton" is not, and it is somewhat unusual since conventional computers. Instead the file system operates Newton object-oriented database. About the same as your e-mail client contains all messages in one file, but you see them just as individual messages, and you can delete, add, or group them into folders.Newton OS operates two types of objects - Packages »(packages), which are read-only (as a rule they contain software or Newton-book) and soups» (soups, in the sense I would have moved more like a "team Salsola "), in which the system or application may write data. Typically, each application has its own "Soup» (notes soup, names soup), in which it keeps its documents. These documents are only visible to the user of the program that created them, or others who may read it "soup." For the convenience of a Newton OS support "folders" into which you can lay out the programs or documents. They are purely decorative, and the OS is still in a folder stored particular program - you can easily shift any systematic expansion of «Extensions» to any folder and it will still retain its functionality. You can create 12 "global", that is visible to all applications, folders, and 12 local-only one application. There are utilities that remove this restriction and allow you to create an extensive system of multi-level subfolders, but in my opinion, for PDA twelve folders is enough. Organization in the form of a database allows for very tight integration of applications in the system among themselves. For example, a planner or a mailer can use the "soup" address book, or a graphics program to import / export figures from the notebook. All data and programs in memory, "Newton" is compressed on the fly, thus saving space in memory.

Newton OS interface is very simple and logical, however, enable numerous functions without cluttering the screen at the same time. Here, in fact, nothing to describe, just very comfortable and ergonomically, it is clear that every detail was designed specifically for use on the PDA, and not just stupidly transferred from the "big" OS. Moreover, if you do not like some aspects of the interface is very much possible to amend or supplement with a variety of tools (usually free).

Handwriting text using ink text
Huge head, inscribed in the history of Apple handheld computers - to enter information via touch screen. The most famous method, which first appeared in the Newton OS, - ink. Technology, handwriting recognition, based on the use of the dictionary (the dictionary in different models vary - from 10 thousand words in the first Message Pad to 93 thousand in Newton 2x00), was developed by the Russian firm "paragraph". The first model was criticized for inadequate recognition, Apple threw a considerable force to its improvement and in the last models made great strides. In the Newton OS 2.x introduced the letter by letter recognition, it is slightly slower but more reliable, especially in the missing words in the dictionary. You write on paper, anywhere on the screen and the words are added at the cursor. In general, it is the most natural way to enter text in PDA, and "Newton" automatically learns to recognize your handwriting features. When my doodles are themselves converted into typed text, I had a sense of wonder. Unfortunately, so you can write only in English (it was released as several localized "Newton": German, Japanese, but the Russian was not among them). Onscreen keyboard - this is an extreme case, too inconvenient and slow. If you need something quick to note, but you do not want to wait until the "Newton" recognizes your text (the old model of coping with it very slowly), you can resort to the regime of ink text (see screenshot).Such an input method, to my knowledge, is unique and very useful for quick notes. To draw in two different ways. First - «shapes» - recognize that you have drawn (circle, square, line) and makes the shape of the patch level. This figure, then you can reduce, enlarge, change the aspect ratio and thickness of the line, as well as the editor for vector graphics such as Corel Draw. The second mode, called «sketches» allows you to draw "free": what and where in the paint, and then appear.

Alternative (not built into the OS) ways to enter text quite a lot: First of all, it's graffiti, well accustomed to the platform, Palm. Firm "paragraph" has released the FreeStyle, it provides a handwritten letter by letter input method, I will tell about it later. Still, there are several programs I characters (Chinese, Japanese). Moreover, the text can be entered using a special handheld "Newton" keyboard, acceding to the serial port with a desktop keyboard, which is connected to "Newton", and using an adapter to the "Newton", you can connect an ordinary PC or Mac keyboard. The latter solution is not very convenient, since it requires additional power the keyboard. For communication with the desktop computer Apple has released a number of programs, the most powerful of which is the Newton Connection Utilities (NCU). All communications programs from Apple issued simultaneously in versions for Macintosh and Windows, in addition, there are programs from the third party to communicate with the "Newton" platforms Unix, Linux, Amiga and Atari (the latter less likely than the software from Apple, but they at least provide a setting for "Newton" programs). You can still install a terminal program and use it to communicate with virtually any computer, the benefit of terminal emulators are made for virtually every conceivable platform. Exchange texts and installing software can also e-mail, WWW or FTP. So that the "Newton" is a truly krossplatformnym PDA (unlike, say, Windows CE), moreover, among its owners, users of Windows, even more than "makintoshnikov. Newton Connection Utilities except to install software lets you do a full "backup" memory "Newton", and import and export documents to and from the PDA (with the possible export of Notes to RTF while preserving all formatting and graphics), and synchronize with your desktop computer. "Newton" can synchronize your task and address book programs Claris Organiser, Lotus Organiser, MS Outlook and Entourage (Outlook for "Mac»), Palm Desktop and others. Unfortunately, the exchange of information with a desktop computer pops up a number of problems associated with the "unicode" "Newton". To work with non-Romance languages ​​before sending the text information on a computer, must be translated into one of the 8-bit encodings (Windows-1251, MacCyrillic, KOI-8R). Otherwise, you will see boxes instead of text or a question, as Newton Connection Utilities unaware of the existence of the Russian language and simply discards the unfamiliar symbols in Unicode encoding. In connection with this is very disappointing that the "Newton" rested just at a time when Unicode began to be widely used in operating systems and applications for "large" computers. Survive it at least another year, I'm sure Apple would provide a full import / export Unicode-texts. Physically connect the computer to "Newton" may occur either through a serial port or over Ethernet (if you installed the PCMCIA Ethernet-card, this is only possible in the MP 2x00 and eMate). Connection over Ethernet is a very fast, but is available only for computers Macintosh, since it uses standard AppleTalk. If you still want to use the fastest type of connection to a computer running Windows or Linux, you can run on your PC WWW, e-mail or FTP server to exchange information on the Ethernet.

Outbox - a single "box" outgoing messages for all applications (built into the Newton OS)
In principle, communication capabilities, "Newton" were initially of no small importance (if not the key) the task for developers. He was even initially planned to call the Note Pad, but then changed their name to the Message Pad, emphasizing precisely the possibility of communication. From any application, any text or object you touch will be sent by fax, e-mail, print, forward to another "Newton" via infrared or transfer by other means, are included in the system with additional software. And you can do it from the editing window, so the list of documents of the program (in the latter case, you can select multiple). In the Newton OS was originally envisaged InBox and OutBox, and they are the same for any object (faxes, letters, etc.), and all communication programs use these built-in system of "boxes". All this greatly simplifies the communication problem and relieves the user interface. As I mentioned, applications for the "Newton" There are vast. Not all are compatible with the machines of the first generation, but the MP 2k can do almost the same as on the desktop (of course, with some limitations, it nevertheless PDA). For office needs, Apple released a package NewtWorks, containing a word processor, spreadsheet (compatible with relevant products from Microsoft), graphics editor and a "scientific" calculator. To work with the Internet have a web browsers, email programs, nyusrider, clients for FTP, IRC, ICQ, and WAP. In addition, by using the Newton Personal Data Sharing «Newton" may even be a web server! (You can find the addresses of several websites maintained by these computers, at 130.126.50.66/tracker.cgi.) For the old surfing is theoretically possible, but the browser works oh-oh-oh-very slowly, for tasks such 20-megahertz processor is not enough . By the way, Newt's Cape browser and email client Simple Mail (both are still supported by the manufacturer, and periodically new versions) to cope with a variety of encodings of our great and mighty.

In addition to standard office and internet programs have so many others, and you will surely find what you need for you. On the "Newton" You can make presentations, slide shows, play videos, MOD and MIDI files, record audio (with a dictaphone quality), to plan their personal finances (Pocket Money program and several others), focus on areas with a special GPS-receiver and maps, control household appliances via infrared, to scan bar codes and much, much more. There is even an HTML-editor and program for 3D modeling. In addition, the "Newton" can import photos from some digital cameras and act as a graphics tablet or keyboard for a desktop computer. Quite a few games, mostly "pasyansnogo or Lines of type, but not only. Moreover, many works of art at the time of commercial and shareware-programs are now officially free of charge, which is very nice, do not spend money or to violate the law. So in the "abandonment" platform has its positive qualities.

Newton-book. Such books are done on a desktop computer from a text file and loaded into the "Newton". In the book, you can do multiple bookmarks, and even handwritten notes
Another great opportunity, "Newton" is the e-books.Already in the first version of the operating system provides a possibility of reading Newton Books. These books are made for the "big" computer programs or Newton Press Newton Book Maker, and then loaded on a "Newton" as a "package". Source for books may be simple text or RTF files and MS Word documents and other text editors. Possible to make books and straight into the "Newton", with the help of Newt's Cape, which converts HTML (the Internet, documents stored on the "Newton" or on a desktop computer) in Newton Book. The book, besides the text itself, can contain images, hyperlinks (to other pages in the same book), tiered content, have complex formatting (different fonts, the header on each page, columns and other design elements). On the "Newton" in the book can go to any arbitrary page, bookmark and even make handwritten notes. When reading fiction special need in the tabs there, because every time a book is opened to the page where you closed it last time. In addition, the book can be printed or faxed. Having learned all this about my purchase, I waited impatiently the moment when, finally, I could feel her own hands. After securing, the coveted instrument, I proceeded to its development. It was rather shabby copy of 1995 issue, with pretty scratched screen, but is still working properly, and even partially Russified. "Newton" was indeed a pretty big thing, but it is surprisingly comfortable in the hand, and even many hours of communion with him does not tire nor hands nor eyes (though I could well assume that the "Newton" will be too big for some fragile Ladies' handles). This ergonomic, apparently provided by center of gravity down, there is still the battery compartment. In the pocket "Newton" climbs with difficulty, and it too heavy for "underwear" to wear, so it is assumed that you'll wear it in the bag. Me personally, it does not bother: "Newton" found a place in my waist pouch, which is very convenient. Total external impression from him that I would describe the English phrase, «Built like a Tank», from the "Newton" breathes some puleneprobivaemostyu or something. This is, in general, it is not surprising, given that he at one time was worth about $ 800, and for the money the buyer wanted to get something that will not break after a couple of years. The first thing I began to test the recognition of English handwriting (recognition programs for the Russian language at the time I was not there, about it a little below). After a brief training, during which I tried to write neatly, and "Newton" studied the features of my doodles, the recognition quality was quite acceptable. However, this method I have one serious drawback - recognition is pretty slow. Therefore, for some quick notes (for example, record dictated by telephone address) then I prefer to use ink text. I tried as recognition using the built-in dictionary and letter by letter, as a result stopped at last, although it is somewhat slower. But there are no problems with non-standard words, such as names of companies or products (Apple in the dictionary, of course, there is, but Linux is already there) that I basically enter and Latin. Embedded software is fairly standard, the interface is simple and easy to use, largely based on the chart. For example, to set up a meeting planner, you are simply having a line from the start time to end, then there is a new record, and you can pay back the details. Program Notes allows you to use simple formatting (underline, font size) to the selected text, and after minor modifications (by tools, I added back the function Select all and Find / Replace) is completely replaced my simple text editor. The size of one "note" in the Notes is limited to 8 KB, but this is again removed the special utility. In Notes, there are three built-in template - the actual Note, plain text, Outline - a hierarchical list, and Checklist. The latter is the same as the previous pattern, just in front of each item has a Checkbox (do not know how to call it in Russian), in which you can tick off.I really liked the pattern Checklist with useful, for example, make lists for shopping or to-do list.

Very convenient built-in program Formulas. It allows you to convert units of measurement: measure temperature, weight, length, and God knows what each other. In the same function is available, transfer of one currency into another (the rate you set for yourself), it is very convenient Date Calculator (specify two dates, and shows you how many days in between) and computation of long-term credit (well, for our country is not really relevant) . Unfortunately, the user can not set their own formulas in this program, but there are several utilities that extend the functionality of Formulas, such as the periodic table. Of the built-worthy program Time Zones, which shows current time in your chosen city (but time still dial codes and the distance to Moscow). Exciting features Assist. At first I did not pay her attention, thought it was something like a fashion now "wizards", but when the experiment with it, I realized all of its charm. For example, you need to find someone's phone number, say, Vladimir. To do this, open the address book, find it there, Vladimir - in general, the task requires some time, especially if you have a lot of records. Assist using everything much easier. You press a button Assist, and in the resulting window, write «call vladimir» (can be used as the name and last name) and you are given the desired number, and yes even offered to collect it (via modem or via touchtone speaker). Or, being in a notebook, write «fax vladimir», and a note will be sent to Vladimir by fax or e-mail (instead of «fax» need to type «email»). Likewise, you can print out, find time in the desired time zone (command «time London»), add events to the scheduler and ToDo List. In addition, some programs may add their own unique features in the Assist. Russify "Newton" to fame (as far as I understand it is an achievement of the three companies - "paragraph", "Paragon" and "Mack Center): implemented, not only display and entry of the Russian text - completely Russified system messages, and even some of the functions and names coded in the program memory. When choosing a package of Russification, remember that it is different for each model, so that the Russification MP 130 or so more than 2000 will not come to me, "Newton." An important feature of the package Russification "Newton" is their modularity, that is, if you do not need, say, the system messages in Russian or Russian bookmarks in the address book, you can not install them, thus saving resources of the machine.

Handwriting Russian text by using the FreeStyle
We would like to tell you about the program FreeStyle. In the "Newton" with systems 1.x input Russian text was only possible using on-screen keyboard that will agree, is quite inconvenient and slow. For Newton OS 2.x ParaGraph in 1995 developed a program letterwise handwriting FreeStyle. In principle, the program allows entry of any character, not only of Cyrillic, I just had to deal with a version for the Russian language. After installing the software necessary to train your handwriting. For this we need to write dozens of suggested words containing all the letters of the alphabet, plus numbers and special characters. I initially reacted to this problem is negligent, eager to quickly try FreeStyle in action, and the result was rather disappointing - correctly identify less than half the letters. I already had decided to remove the program has disappointed me, but still decided to give it another chance, and the second time went to learning more carefully, a little rein in his clumsy handwriting and more carefully selecting the mark of some similar letters.After that, the quality of recognition was beyond praise: makes it comfortable enough to introduce large amounts of text (by the way, nearly half of this article was written directly on the "Newton"). If after training some of the letters still recognized correctly, it can be corrected more tweaking, the possibility of such a configuration is very large and can achieve nearly flawless recognition. In FreeStyle provides the use of macros, ie, in response to specific, user-defined symbol is entered once the whole word or phrase. Entering text using the FreeStyle, certainly slower than the keyboard, but this is offset by the possibility of prolonged operation (really long, I think that one set of batteries my "Newton" can not stop to work somewhere day, if not more so) in places far from power outlets and a work desk, for example in the train or on the beach (especially when it was saved in the July heat, when it is, much less work in unconditioned space was simply impossible). Struck by the speed of the FreeStyle. It seemed to me that it works even faster than the built-in Newton OS «raspoznavalki, at least, no discomfort from the speed of the program I did not have - even if it did not have time to recognize all the characters, you can continue to write, and as soon as you pause to think about the next sentence, the program will have time to translate everything into typed text. To enter large amounts of text FreeStyle seemed to me preferable to the built-in operating system input, but to fill the fields in your address book or scheduler standard "raspoznavalka" Yet it is more convenient because you do not write in the box, like FreeStyle, but right on the target line.
Killed apple
Send mail using Simple Mail
After the Russification I decided to try e-mail. Once you install the Simple Mail and Newton Internet Enabler (TCP-IP stack for the "Newton"), I tried to send and receive several letters, using an external modem. There is nothing to tell, send and receive, with Russian encoding all right, though it all happened rather slowly (generally something Apple does not guarantee the Newton Internet Enabler at MP 120 - he has too little system memory, the minimum machine for the Internet is MP 130 so that the slow work quite natural). It's amazing that the amount of just over 200 KB Simple-mail can sort incoming messages into folders, display HTML-messages and graphics, which came into enclosure and handle multiple mailboxes. In this case, the interface for Simple Mail as such, no letters are written in Notes, use the built-in address book and information about your e-mail an account written in your personal data (also built into the OS). This approach is initially disconcerting - Install the program, and like to run and there is nothing, but after the uptake is the point, it becomes very convenient. For me, a very important property, "Newton" proved Newton-book. At first, I was able to do only with the Latin alphabet, but soon learned to do and in Russian (manufacturer Newton Book in Russian, I will not describe here, this is pretty trivial procedure, more reminiscent of shamanic dances with a tambourine, but the important thing is that it is possible). In addition to the actual literature (from date of purchase, "Newton" I became a regular visitor Lib.ru) in the form of books is convenient to issue a Web page or lengthy digests of mail lists that are too busy to read at home - it can do on the road (or lounging on the couch where the computer does not drag). In general, the "Newton" He delivered me from the incredible amount of paper. There is no need, for example, to print the location map to the office where you go, enough "drive" it in the Notes or made into a Newton Book (if there's a picture). Not to mention the numerous note, telephone, address, who, after accumulating a critical mass began to spread throughout the house (and can not erase - when something important).Well, on paper books, of course, no longer need to carry a thick binders, all sitting on my green friend. In all operating systems is the so-called "Easter eggs» (Easter Eggs), surprises inherent programmers, and the Newton OS, in this sense is no exception. I'm not really a fan of digging up these surprises, but one of these "favorites" manifested itself, and without my participation. June 23, I turned on my "Newton", and instead of glowing light bulbs (regular saver when you turn) saw a white circle, which is gradually obscured by the second black circle. At first I thought, "Newton told a long time to live, or is it some kind of a cunning virus (only later I found out that viruses Newton OS does not exist). However, after the final darkening of the white circle "Newton" is normally enabled and earned. Then I was relieved to learn that this "Easter Egg", and there are circles only during solar eclipses (in June it was somewhere in Africa). Towards the end I want to reiterate that, despite everything, the platform Newton is alive. In programs developed for it recently (literally in the last two months) it should be noted Waba (a Java for PDA devices), ATA driver to allow use of the "Newton" cheap and bulk memory (even IBM Microdrive) and driver for wireless Ethernet standard ISO 802.11b (AirPort in the terminology of Apple). These products are still in beta stage, but the final release is not far off. If you are going to purchase a PDA, not relieve it from the accounts - maybe it's just what you need ("Newton" is still quite often come at points of sale of used equipment for reasonable money).

HP iPAQ h4150: the doctor said the autopsy! ..
Recall that for our section diy, in which published and this article shall be taken not only stories about the original decisions on the basis of the CCP, but also practical advice on repairs, maintenance and other everyday realities - all of this, preferably with photos. E-mail as usual on editor@hpc.ru. And now - to the point. In order to separate the body, it is necessary to turn out five screws, one of which is under the warranty sticker. The screws can be turned out Torx T-6, which you can buy a set for the repair of cellular or separately.

The first step: turns the screws ...
The design consists of the average load-bearing part on which the fixed fee, the vast majority of cells and the anterior-posterior part of the body. Divide must, above all, the rear part of the dark. She - on plastic latches, which opens with some force. It is advisable to use non-metallic flat screwdriver or plastic corner tight credit cards, so as not to scratch the corners of the body.

Step Two: Our guinea without the back cover, break trail hard buttons
In the lower left corner of the board is a socket train hard buttons (number 1 in the photo without the lid). We must carefully move down brown stop the train, and it is easy to come out. In the upper left-hand top side is located the screw holding the front of the building (number 2 in the photo without the lid).

Get ftorplastovuyu thin tape, which need not to damage the polymer material plume soldering iron. Impose new touchscreen cable to contact pads perfectly aligned with the contacts on the tail of the matrix, fix it a couple of drops of superglue to not move. Desirable to apply a little glue and away from contact.Then cover all of a piece of tape ftorplastovoy and warm the place of the soldering iron, without much pressure.
    Now general recommendations:
  • Not'll advise totally all earthed although desirable. Must wash hands to remove excess static.
  • Flat cables are afraid hall. Disassemble desirable on pure worksheet, rigid rubber her not slip elements when annex efforts.
  • The entire assembly must be in the reverse order, remembering to plug in and fix the cables and connectors, which, actually, quite a bit.

Awakening "Sony&quot

Presents the new Sony models in the line Slie. New product has been tested by one of the authors of the site PalmInfocenter - Ed Xardi. Sony Clie PEG-N760C - the latest model in the most stylish and popular line of Clie. Of the special features can be identified with the screen resolution of 320x320 pixels and 16-bit color, slot, Memory Stick, a traditional scroll wheel Jog Dial on Sony. Production company is promoting the model as a multimedia device with the ability to view video and audio. In addition, this handheld computer is equipped with the new operating system - Palm OS 4.1. In the rest of N760C is not much different from its predecessor spring - N710C.

Not a toy ...

Awakening "Sony&quot
New Sonya performed in the best traditions: Slim (7.2sm x 12cm x 1.8sm) and easy to lift (161.5g). Its silver exterior chrome. Design takes connoisseurs and ergonomic mass aesthetic pleasures. At the front of the PDA buttons are located in chrome rectangular area. Function performs a joystick button, differs sufficiently tight pressing, so to play the N760C is more complicated than on previous models. The Power button is located below the front panel. Near it is a small lamp that shows whether the device is enabled. This is a very important detail, since the mp3-player you can listen to with the screen, dramatically increasing the time of the CCP until the next recharge.

On the left is a headphone jack, a button lock keys "Hold", "back" button, and Jog Dial, which, according to the author, it is convenient to use only right-handed. At the top of the unit can see a place to mount caps, IR-port, slot, Memory Stick, "hole" for the stylus. At the bottom, as expected, placed a serial port, and slots for attaching external devices. "Reset" button is located nearby.

Display: 16-bit color

Awakening "Sony&quot
The tester simply delighted with the new items screen. He and oversensitive, and has a resolution of 320x320 pixels and can display over 65 thousand colors. Thanks to OS 4.1, the screen supports 16-bit color. (Y N710C - 8-bit color. However, Sony promised in the near future to update its operating system, and everyone can easily remove this "deficiency" in its 710 machines.) But back to the novelty. It seems that none of the PDA based on Palm OS has not had such a wonderful display. Already, there are enough programs that support such high quality graphics. In addition, the N760C is a very useful feature, which is clearly lacking Palm'u m505. This is a brightness control. If you click on the small icon in the corner of the screen - you can set an acceptable level at the moment light the screen. For example, this function will save battery power the CCP during the transition from viewing high-quality graphics for reading. The text can be read at the lowest brightness. The only disadvantage of the screen: on its plastic surface is not very pleasant to write, but it easily turns into a plus - should only stick to the display protective film.

Fonts "High Flight"

PDA N760C not only supports fonts with high resolution, but also boasts a special fichey. High Resolution Assist will considerably improve the quality of fonts at low resolution. Thus, you can enjoy the beauty and charm of the screen handheld in almost all programs. But, as the author notes articles, test Assist'a, not all applications will listen to him and simply begin to "fail".

PictureGear Pocket

Sony Clie PEG-N760C comes with the latest version of PictureGear Pocket, which lets you view the schedule as of RAM, and from memory Memory Stick. Also attached to the PictureGear software-assistant - Photo Stand. It lets you convert images PG Pocket in the slideshow. Thus, PDAs, located in the cradle, you can use as desktop pictures, photos, or even hours.

MP3, 4, 5, ...!

Chip from Motorola, which operates on the basis of the CCP, powerful enough to provide excellent quality of playing mp3-faylov.K Unfortunately, integrated mp3-player produces a battery life in just a couple of hours listening to music. True, Sony tried several compensate for this deficiency. As mentioned above, while the mp3-player screen can be turned off. Built-in audio player "knows" all that is usually: Play files directly from Memory Stick, shows all the songs in a list, you can quickly rewind songs. Audio can be listened to only through headphones as a built-in speaker is not "enough" power to fully play music.
Awakening "Sony&quot
As its predecessor, N760C comes c «klipsovidnymi" headphones that are not too comfortable. Of the nice "bells and whistles" may be noted, perhaps, a remote control and MP3 audio player. Among other things, it can be used as a stylus.

Video - nevideo ...

On the N760C has preinstalled software gMovie Player, allowing you to view videos. You can characterize it as a self-contained, but the user it is likely to be disappointed, because watching movies with high resolution using this software is impossible. However, developers can understand: such a step is taken in order to save on memory, because then the usual 90-minute film with a resolution of 160x120 will take 200MB.

Jog Dial: stylus free!

Jog Dial - one of the company finds Sony, embodied in the N760C. Due to the scroll wheel, you can manage PDA with one hand. Under the Jog Dial has a dedicated Back button, clicking on which you can return to the application in which you were previously. At Jog Dial and Back up a wonderful duo as they can be used much faster to perform various tasks without using the stylus. For example, you're in the WordSmith program and read the first part of a book. The second part is laid out as a separate file. Having read the first one, you can using the "Back" to return to the list of books, wheel Jog Dial to select the second part, open it up and continue reading. All this without the "participation" of the stylus! For special facilities in the main drop-down menu PDAs, you can add categories such as "On / Off" and "Search". They will appear in all applications and take advantage of them will be the same with a combination of back button and scroll wheel Jog Dial'a.

Filling

Not surprisingly, the PDA-oriented high-end market, has the most powerful to date processor Motorola Dragonball VZ 33MHz, 8MB of ROM and 4 MB Flash ROM, which means that the OS can be updated. N760C screen works with the chip MQ-1100 Platform Controller Chip from MediaQ. The chip integrates the work of 64-bit 2D graphics engine, the management interface LCD-display, controller, USB. MQ-1100 is equipped with 256Kb of internal memory and provides high-performance video games and similar programs.

Palm OS 4.1

Palm OS 4.1, practically does not differ from OS 4.0. According to the developers, the new version only fixes some bugs. The only really noticeable change - correct operation of IR-port.Palm OS 4.1 uses the same method to access files on the Memory Stick, and that OS 4.0. When a card is inserted into the socket in the launcher there is a new icon on the files. They are copied from the card to RAM, from where it started. When the Memory Stick is removed - the icon disappears. Interestingly, in the delivery package includes technology and Palm Web Clipping, quickly and easily work with a specially "sharpened" under her web site in Internet.

Specifically for users of Macintosh ...

N760C works fine with the Macintosh. The authors note that the N760C no problems syncing with Macs using the latest version of Palm Desktop. True, he tested it via infrared PowerBook'a. It seems that the only really working way synchronization. Some incompatibility problems on USB, which were not in Palm OS 4.0, appeared in OS 4.1. Moreover, even in applications from Mark / Space have a problem with N760C.

Conclusion ...

He was categorical. New Sony just fine in all respects. It is expensive ($ 500) and expensive, as is able to satisfy the most demanding needs of PDA users. If you are looking for a combination mp3-pleer/KPK, the Sony Clie PEG-N760C - one of the best decisions. Sources, Materials:

Diy: collect the charger to recharge NiMH batteries directly into the PDA

HPCru continues heading diy. Today we present to you the detailed instructions with pictures for assembling battery charger to recharge NiMH batteries directly into the PDA (on the model of Sony Clie SL10), from our readers, Vladimir M. Immediately stipulate that this material is essential reading only to lovers of self-assembly of various electronic makeweights for its handheld computers and other electronics. This experience is not recommended to repeat to those who are not too versed in the wisdom of e-filling and work with it. Editorial HPCru not responsible for the failed experiment. Those who dare to use our instruction, we invite you to share experiences to improve your Pocket PC in this category. About how to get to the page HPCru can be found in the article. And now - for the cause. On the experiments described below I was inspired by the experience Vladimira Suho, described in the article "How to use a soldering iron can be converted into Palm handheld computer in a very advanced device, Part 1." If you decide to make at your leisure battery charger, which I did, should be read carefully, not only with my article, but with this material, which describes how the scheme. So, I have a Sony Clie SL10. Nutrition of the PDA by using two batteries or NiMH-AAA batteries. The device is equipped with a miniUSB-jack for connection to a desktop PC, which has five contacts, but for the USB bus is used only four lines. Hence, one of the connector pins is not involved. I decided to use this contact for charging NiMH-battery directly into the PDA. We begin with the scheme.
Diy: collect the charger to recharge NiMH batteries directly into the PDA
As the transistor T1, I used KT644 (any letter). You can use any pnp-transistor high power with a current collector at least 0.5A. Diode D5, D1 - KD243 (any letter). I measured the voltage drop across the diode is open to a maximum of 0.5A, it remains at 0.7V. The most expensive element of the scheme is to chip U1 (MAX 712). I bought it for 290 rubles. As a primary source was used from a cell phone charger. This charger gave stable voltage 5V to current 0.5A. Since the primary source of one volt less than the required 6B had to remove the safety diode D2. In this regard, be careful when docking the primary source of our scheme, do not confuse the polarity. Scheme I have collected on maketnitse, the connection is made using wire MGTF. All placed in a box from under the "Tik-Tak." Next, you need to pick up resistor Rsense for your batteries. I had a battery capacity of 750 mAh, which indicated rapid charging current 187mA. As the resistor Rsense take power resistor MLT-0.5W. Completely assemble the device. Connect the two series-connected battery through an ammeter with a current up to 1A (do not forget to connect the diode D5). As an ammeter be sure to use any digital (arrow has too much internal resistance). Turn on the device. The ammeter should show the current more than you need. Carefully remove the lacquer with a knife with a resistor Rsense until gray patina.

Then fine emery cloth soshlifuyte gray powder until a white porcelain color. First soshlifuyte narrow strip between the contacts. Resistance will increase and the charge current falls. Increase medium grinded area to the point where the ammeter will show you the desired charge current. To be safe, cover with varnish medium grinded area resistor.I have to collect the charger looks as shown below.

Now you should at least difficult part - Finalization devaysa Wiring and plugs. MiniUSB plug I bought at the store for 25 rubles. Disassembled, it looks as shown below.
Diy: collect the charger to recharge NiMH batteries directly into the PDA
As we can see, one of the terminals in your plug is not part of desoldering the wire. Do the following. At the end of the needle files with a narrow edge sharpen and grind down the sides to produce an mikrostameska 1 mm wide. At the fork, departing at 1-1.5 mm from the edge of the plastic shell of the broken short contact scratched groove until the shiny surface of the contact.
Diy: collect the charger to recharge NiMH batteries directly into the PDA
From the two-sided fiberglass foil thickness of 0.5 - 0.7 mm cut plate of 5x8 mm. On all sides are chamfered to nowhere foil has not reached the edge of the plate. Cuts through the foil on both sides of the plate, as shown in the figure.
Diy: collect the charger to recharge NiMH batteries directly into the PDA
Tin foil strips. Insert the plate between the terminal and solder contacts to the plate tracks. Remain nepripayanoy one track in front of the plate scratched contact. A piece of copper magnet wire with a diameter of 0.1-0.15 tinning, make a small bend and solder as shown in the picture. A small loop is needed to wire after soldering was not under the interference.
Diy: collect the charger to recharge NiMH batteries directly into the PDA
Soldering the wires in the groove on the soldering tip pulls the ten turns of copper wire 1 mm in diameter so that the forward end of the spoke length 5-7 mm. He sharpens the end and tinned. When soldering a scratched groove using liquid non-active flux (rosin solution in alcohol). Be careful when soldering provodnichok must not protrude beyond the edge of the plate and should not touch the adjacent track. With the help of a tester, check for circuit between the contacts, correct deficiencies. Positive lead from the assembled and tested charger apply solder to the track, labeled "+", negative - "-". Pripayanuyu wrap the plate with one layer of tape. I had a set of plugs without housing. For hard wire connection with a fork, I used shrink tube, the result is shown in the photo.

Put down the PDA screen. We begin to remove the rear cover from the lower left side. Then the top left, bottom right and the last upper-right part. Gently lifts the rear cover to prevent damage to the scroll wheel, located in the upper right corner. At the bottom of the Open PDA (see picture), we see the battery compartment and an outlet miniUSB-port. The battery compartment is mounted by two screws - the left and right. Right screw also holds the flexible fiberglass shawl with empty seats on its outlet miniUSB. From the battery compartment out two wires (black and red plus minus), which are connected to a special plug. This plug is inserted into the socket, the circuit board devaysa. Unscrew screws, gently pull out the plug and take out the battery compartment. At the same time relieved fiberglass veil with a rosette miniUSB. Itself is a socket for stiffness is inserted into the slots. Gently pull the upper edge of shawl with miniUSB socket and turn down it.
