The Dell Latitude X200 arrived yesterday. I installed software I need and then played with it as I went through the day. It is an awesome little computer.
This component will make a nice addition to my personal area network (PAN). With Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in many of the components they each can communicate with one another. This extends the capability of each device.
The computer can use the wireless phone to reach the Internet when I am out of range of my home network or a public Wi-Fi access point. The headset can be used to dictate letters into the computer or take phone calls. The phone and Latitude sync with my desktop PC whenever the Latitude gets within 100 feet, and the phone 30 feet, of my office. My PAN devices synchronize by adding new or edited contact records, calendar entries, task list items and any digital files that I keep on multiple computers. Combining the power of the PAN with Scopeware will extend my ability to quickly and accurately access what I want no matter where it is stored within the PAN. And everything is so small and light that it is not much of a problem to carry it all when I'm out-and-about.
Please tell me about any new gadgets in your life. I love to hear about the toys you are enjoying.
