Abstract:The use of palmtop, or handheld, computers is rapidly increasing in the developed world. In the past many of these devices have been simply standalone small computers, running relatively simple programs but with the added feature of mobility. Now many palmtop computers have more sophisticated uses, usually running compact editions of the main office applications, such as word processing and spreadsheets, with larger memory capacities, a variety of data input devices and the ability to link into wireless networks. Palmtops can also act as communication devices, by incorporating a mobile phone (cellphone) card, and entertainment devices by including computer games.
