Mobile terminals to meet diverse requirements

摘要

In building a mobile computing system, the most important aspect is to supply a means of wireless communication and terminals having good portability.This paper describes the following five examples of mobile terminals developed by Toshiba: (1) the mobile network computer, allowing work to be carried out after downloading applications at the time they are needed; (2) the GENIO{sub}TM pocketcommunicator, permitting the sending and receiving of e-mail and equipped with a personal information manager (PIM), with input via touch panel; (3) the MC-01 PHS mail walker, featuring a large display and supporting non-procedural communications; (4) the digital cellular phone and personal handy-phone system (PHS), enabling communication for terminals having no means of communication of their own; and (5) the PHS adapter, which has only the data communication function.
