Computing power doesn't have to rest on your desktop; it can travel with you. Keep yourself informed and organized with the Philips Nino 510. The Nino 510 manages your calendar, business contacts, and to-do list; recognizes voice commands; and records voice memos. It also sports a beautiful, razor-sharp color display.

Setting up the Nino 510 was easy--we just inserted the battery pack, connected the Nino dock to our PC, dropped in the Windows CE CD-ROM and followed the setup wizard. The process was entirely straightforward as we followed the instructions on the Quick Start card.

The 510 has a crystal-clear LCD display with 256 vibrant colors--among the brightest, sharpest displays of any handheld PDA we've tested. You navigate through the Nino's applications by either pressing several side-mounted buttons (designed for one-handed operation), by speaking voice commands, or by tapping the stylus on the backlit display. The Nino is especially comfortable to hold and operate. For text input, you have your choice of tapping the on-screen "keyboard" (standard or Tegic T9) or using one of the handwriting recognition systems (Jot or CalliGrapher).

In our tests, we trained NinoVoice--the voice command recognition system--to recognize our commands for common applications (for example, saying "Note Taker" to activate Note Taker). We found NinoVoice no more or less convenient than the more conventional buttons or stylus, but it's still a cool feature. Also included is CalliGrapher, the sophisticated handwriting-recognition software from ParaGraph. CalliGrapher does not require that you train it to recognize commands, although you can for improved accuracy. This software also recognizes cursive writing.

With its attractive, ergonomic design, digital audio abilities, terrific software suite, and beautiful color display, we highly recommend the Nino 510--the PDA that can keep you both organized and entertained.

Pros:

Beautiful color display
One-handed ergonomic controls

Cons:

Slightly larger than other PDAs
Does not include 9-to-25-pin serial adapter

Product Description:
For the more experienced palm PC user, Philips has expanded upon the standard features of their previous Nino's to bring you the most comprehensive palm PC ever - the Nino 510! The Nino 510 has the same lightweight, expandable, easy sync Palm features as the Nino 200 and 300 series and much more! One of the most advanced features of the Nino 510 that makes it stand out from other palm PCs, is the color touch screen display. You may not realize how important color is on your palm computer but in comparison to a palm computer without color, the benefits are tremendous. The Nino 510 display supports 256 colors, making your palm experience fun and pleasurable. The color advantage will provoke you to use your Nino 510 more, increasing your productivity and making your purchase a valuable one. Backlighting and contrast control ensure easy readability and brightness with no strain on your eyes! Automatic synchronization transfers your calendar, contact, and to-do list between your Nino 510 and your Windows 95, 98, or NT personal computer. Then everything you need on the road is in the palm of your hand for instant portable access. The Nino 510 automatically recharges its AA NiMH battery pack while it syncs so you don't have to worry about losing power! The Nino 510 also communicates wirelessly with other infrared and Windows CE 95/98 or NT 4.0 devices through its infrared transceiver. This means you are able to sync information with other Palm PC users, and utilize the service of other IrDA devices including PCs, printers, scanners, and mobile phones. With the Nino 510, your critical business and personal data is right at your fingertips. As your pool of information grows, the Nino accommodates with memory expansion possibilities. A color screen makes your Nino experience as pleasurable and productive as it can be. Nothing keeps you more connected to the office while you're on the road. Who says you can't bring your PC with you everywhere?!
