We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Handheld device",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Speedy access to latest Molex lines from
RS Components UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "All the latest connectors from Molex are now available from RS Components".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release API streamlines 2D graphics from
Imagination Technologies: "Implementing OpenVG using hardware acceleration enables OEMs to deliver smooth, high frame rate interactive performance at very low power levels".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Infiniscale
- take a look at Sales agreement covers modeling software
which says: "IVIS has agreed to be responsible for sales and support of Infiniscale's modeling, model-based optimisation and parametric yield solutions".
Take a look also at the news release from JAE Europe, Handheld connector combines SIM and microSD cards,
as well as Battery IC charges feature-rich devices from Summit Microelectronics,
and Circuits protect portable devices from Texas Instruments (April 2006-).
