Patent issued for PC and PDA bastardization |
You know just the other day I was using my notebook and thought to myself what I really wanted was for my notebook to work more like my PDA from 2002. Well, OK so maybe I wasn’t thinking that, PDA’s died out years ago.
That didn’t stop O2Micro from getting a patent for a new PC architecture that allows a PC to be integrated with a PDA architecture. O2Micro says the system would place a secondary screen on a notebook that could be used to access data PDA style.
The company uses examples like accessing your calendar, instant messages and music on the secondary screen while working on the primary screen. That sounds a lot like Windows SideShow to me and you can already do the same thing by simply extending your desktop to another display.
