Pocket organizers are so much more than just electronic appointment books By Dawn Stover Contributing Writer POCKET-SIZED portable organizers are more than just electronic appointment books. They now hold as inuch data as early desktop computers, and can trade data. In the last year, electronic organizers have acquired larger screens and better memories. But what really sets the new hand-held or- ganizers apart from previous electronic directories and notebooks is their ability to communicate with larger computers. Machines made by Sharp, Casio and Psion Inc. can exchange data with IBM-compatible PCs and Apple Macintoshes, using cable links and special software. Tele-Art's pocket-size unit will soon be able to communicate with PCs, using a $50 adapter that converts infrared signals to electrical ones. But for now, it is only able to swap data with the desktop model made by the same manufacturer, via a wireless transfer system. All of the various links allow the transfer of schedules, memos, phone numbers and other information to and from desktop : APPLNGES_ i THIS WEEKEND | ONLY! ) srecnoUU PRICE CRA SATURDAY 10am-6pm SUNDAY Tlam-5Spm ‘SUPER HOT PRICE CN 17: 3 CU.

But now that organizers can be connected to personal computers, you can type docu- ments on a full-sized keyboard, then transfer them to an organizer. Reprinted fram Popular Science by fer- mission.
