Icon Mobile Manager looking good

June 25th, 2007

The Icon Mobile Manager is one PDA that will probably be a hit among the senior folks, especially those whose eyesight are starting to fail. While it does pretty much the same thing as basic PDAs do (calendar, address book, clock, word processor, calculator, voice recorder), the Icon Mobile Manager is different since it comes with large and easy-to-use buttons. Powered by Linux, the Icon Mobile Manager features a 30GB hard drive for storage purposes, an audio-based Web browser and email client, as well as Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity. Sounds neat, unfortunately this device strains your pocket at $1,395 a pop. Shipping is apparently restricted within the U.S. only.
