The Panasonic Toughbook T8 has the smallest footprint (and the smallest keyboard) and it's the lightest at 3.3 lbs. However, this notebook is actually the thickest one. You'll see that by looking at the photo above. The T8 is the one of the bottom. For a notebook that's only 3.3 lbs, the T8 is surprisingly thick. Then again, it's the only rugged PC out of the 3, so it's expected to be thicker if it's going to have that 1 foot drop rating.

We're seeing companies develop some clever names these days. Have you heard of Toktumi? The name is pronounced, "talk to me." Do you get it? It's too bad that VOIP doesn't have such a creative sound to it when you try to read the letters VOIP. Founded in 2006, San Francisco-based toktumi has created the most affordable, full-featured virtual home office phone service available to help mobile entrepreneurs retain the flexibility, professional image, and proper home/work balance they need to lead successful lives. Toktumi is distributed nationally by Dell and Staples.com.Toktumi provides a nice VOIP phone service on your mobile device so that you can leverage the power of the Internet for your clinical practice or small business. You can easily set up a second line and use a single phone or smartphone to receive calls from several different numbers. The virtual office can become a reality through the use of a service like Toktumi. How would you compare different VOIP services? Vonage, Ringbox, and even Google Voice all offer a variety of services and packages that may help you operate more efficiently. However, only a few providers (like Toktumi and Google Voice) allow you to come up with a second phone number that also includes a voice mail box for that number. You can read some Toktumi reviews to get a better idea about how this type of VOIP may benefit your business.
Someone walked up to me and asked, "is that an iPad?" 
If you're a Linux fan, you're probably familiar with Ubuntu. This free operating system will run on almost any system. The next release of Ubuntu is 10.10 and it will be supporting multitouch gestures. That's great if you have a multitouch screen or a touch/track pad like Apple's Magic Trackpad.
Most of you are probably familiar with capacitive and passive touch screens. How about optical touch? Working together, two optical sensors track the movement of any object close to the surface by detecting the interruption of an infra-red light source. The light is emitted in a plane across the surface of the screen and can be either active (infra-red LED) or passive (special reflective surfaces).
At the heart of the system is a printed circuit controller board that receives signals from the optical sensors. Its software then compensates for optical distortions and triangulates the position of the touching object with extreme accuracy.
Some of NextWindow's products, such as the 1900 series, use low-profile optical sensors mounted on the surface of the glass. Other products use different configurations. In all models, the infrared light source and optical sensors are synchronized using a sophisticated algorithm that also reduces the effect of ambient light, creating an very clear, accurate screen.
The core goal of the iPad initiative is to improve the student learning experience. The decision to provide the devices was prompted by a desire to give students flexible access to the content that they need whether it is a virtual cadaver in dissection lab, annotated lecture slides and videos in the classroom, or journal articles for evidence-based practice in clinic.You can read the full news release here.
“We want to explore the use of iPads and other technologies to help students access the enormous amount of medical knowledge that is being produced constantly,” said Charles Prober, MD, the school’s senior associate dean for medical education. “Part of the challenge facing medical students, and all doctors, is the overwhelming amount of information. Devices like the iPad may be able to help users access that pool of knowledge.”

mHealth, enabled by mobile phones and other wireless computing devices (mDevices), is the revolutionary adoption of new communication patterns in healthcare that is stimulating the introduction of Participatory Health. Enabled by mHealth, Participatory Health is transforming healthcare from a physician- and hospital-centric system to one that seeks to connect and coordinate the roles of all health participants, including patients, the wide range of healthcare providers, payers, pharma, wellness providers, and more.Learn more about mHealth here: http://www.mobih.org
mDevices enable healthcare professionals to communicate better with their colleagues, patients, and others such as payers.
Motorola is developing a digital tablet device that will allow users to watch television on it, as the US mobile phone group attempts to chip away at a market established by Apple’s popular iPad.So, should we forget about e-books and jump right to TV? I don't have time to watch TV these days. I suppose if I had a mobile tablet, then I could catch up on my TV shows. This device could be great for people who like to watch TV as they're exercising at the gym.
The device, which will have a 10-inch screen and operate on Google’s Android software, could launch as early as this autumn in the US.
It was expected to tie closely to Verizon’s FiOS digital pay-television service, people briefed on the plans said. Motorola also manufactures the TV set-top boxes for the FiOS television service.
