Combat Digital Assistants

Combat Digital Assistants
The basic idea is to keep platoon leaders (and platoon sergeants, who will probably end up with CDAs as well) constantly informed about what their commanders want, and what new information is available about the enemy. With the satellite communications link, new information about the enemy situation can be constantly sent. Of course, the new CDAs will have the “Blue Force Tracker” technology that will constantly show the location of all nearby friendly platoons, tanks and combat aircraft on the PDA screen.

How To Really Surf The Net

Yahoo! News - How To Really Surf The Net: "People have been talking about surfing the Net for years. Jools Matthews actually does it. Intel has helped build the world's only Wi-Fi waverunner, a toughened, waterproof tablet computer embedded into the surface of a working surfboard. An embedded Intel Centrino chip lets the board communicate with a wireless access point on the beach. "

Use the surfboard to surf the net ... sportive geek :D
