Project Overview

The Pebbles project is exploring how Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), such as the Palm Connected Organizer or a device running the Microsoft Pocket PC or Windows CE operating system, can be used when they are communicating with a "regular" personal computer (PC), with other PDAs, and with computerized devices such as telephones, radios, microwave ovens and factory equipment.
