  • Hitachi Handheld PC PERSONA for Windows CE
    Hitachi HandheldHitachi PC Review PERSONA Vol. 48 for(1999), Windows No. 1 CE 34 Hitachi Handheld PC PERSONA for Windows CE Masaki Kawase OVERVIEW: The market for portable data terminals supporting mobile uses Eiji Matsuda such as data portability and accessing data from outside the office is projected to increase enormously in the coming years. Besides providing Katsufumi Takagishi address book and schedule management for individuals linked to PCs, Mitsuo Taniguchi demand is especially strong for portable machines that can serve as mail terminals for critical communication in pursing business activities and as business terminals that, for example, can be used to prepare and submit business reports as part of a public-relations or business support system. Considering the affinity of this type terminal with Windows*1 PCs and the desire for simple connectivity with the Internet and intranets, Hitachi, Ltd. developed the handheld PC PERSONA that runs the Japanese version of the new operating system Windows CE 2.0 from U.S.-based Microsoft. Intending to make the product faster and more readable and touch-typeable than other machines in its class, the PERSONA comes with a high-speed 100-MHz CPU, large-capacity 16 Mbyte of memory, a large 8.1-inch color display, and an ample keyboard that is conducive to touch typing. In addition, a 33.6-kbit/s high-speed modem, a digital cell phone, and Personal Handyphone System (PHS) datacom interface come as standard equipment, thus making the PERSONA*2 a pleasant-to-use and convenient communications environment for e-mail and other datacom applications.

Recording is one of the business processes in the warehouse. There are two ways of recording the goods, the first way is to write the item code on the paper then the officer returned to the recording computer to enter the item code into the system. The second way is with the freighter heading for recording computer to scan the barcode using a laser barcode scanner. It does have a weakness and biting mistake. Applications developed in the form of mobile- based applications with the Android operating system. The system is designed using the method of prototyping with 3 times the evaluation process. The test results showed that the development of portable data terminal can speed up the work of field personnel of the previously written on paper becomes minimal barcode scanning errors.
