Not even a year has passed since Toshiba’s handheld computer department has risen from its ashes, which resulted in the exceptional G900, which received a lot of righteous appraisals at its time. We’ve been happy at that time that there will be new machines coming, which really did happen, but we had to wait a couple of months. The point is that the renowned manufacturer has recently launched new models; the first that got to us is G910, the successor of the previously mentioned model. At first I’d like to say that it looks very, very strange, at first my mind went wild when writing the introduction; the result of this is visible in the framed part to the right, just to make you happy.
The word UFO is commonly used for extraterrestrial spaceships, although it has been originally used in military flight, all unidentified flying objects have been called this way. Aliens have appeared in many places along history, although it’s a fact that the amateur UFO-believers from the last century were those who had the highest influence on people interested in this topic. Still we can bring back lots of incredible stuff from even older times: according to the genesis myth of a West-African tribe, the dogons, there ancestors received their wisdom from aliens called the Nommo, who came from the star Sirius. The strange is that in these legends there are such infos about Sirius that were uncovered by scientists only much later. By the time of the cold war it was already sure that there is no life on other planets in the solar system, but since the opposing forces have created dedicated centers for observing unidentified objects (enemy spy planes), the UFO maniacs have received another boost for their beliefs. And now we have Toshiba G910, which can again turn up interest for aliens, as we can surely say that its exterior design has been brought from the Mars by ET…
Although the newcomer is a Pocket PC with a QWERTY keyboard and WVGA screen, just like its predecessor, they still differ in lots of things. While G900 is a so-called “classic QWERTY PDA”, G910 has a kind of communicator design, meaning that it can be opened, not slided. Such solutions are not very widespread amongst PDAs, momentarily I only remember HTC Universal – but from the smartphones I could mention Asus M930 or Nokia E90.
The handset, provided by MobilX, came in a mid-sized black box, which had a charger, a data cable, a miniUSB-3.5 mm jack converter and a stereo headset inside besides the phone itself.
