- 3. "Pen-style Personal Networking Gadget“ is created in 2003 by Japanese technology company NEC. The P-ISM (Pen-style Personal Networking Gadget Package) is only a prototype under developing stage by NEC Corporation. Its designer is Toru Ichihashi. P-ISM was first featured at the 2003 ITU Telecom world held in Geneva, Switzerland.
- 4. P-ISM (“Pen-style Personal Networking Gadget Package”). P-ISMs are connected with a wireless technology. The P-ISM (Pen-style Personal Networking Gadget Package) consists of a package of 5 pens that all have unique functions, combining together to create virtual computing experience by producing both monitor and keyboard on any flat surfaces from where you can carry out functions that you would normally do on your desktop computer. Whole set is connected to Internet through cellular phone function.

- 7. The functionality of the CPU is done by one of the pen. It is also known as computing engine. Dual Core processor is used. Works with windows operating system.
- 8. We had digital camera in the shape of pen. It is useful in video recording, video conferencing, simply it is called as web cam. It is also connected with other devices through Blue tooth. The major advantage it is small which is easily portable. It is a 360-Degree Visual Communication Device.
- 9. Virtual laser keyboard (VKB) is a new gadget. It emits laser on desk. Uses laser beam to generate full size perfect keyboard that smoothly connects to PC and most of the handheld devices (PDA's, tablet PC's).
- 10. The role of monitor is taken by LED Projector which projects on the screen. The size of the projector is of A4 size. It has the approximate resolution capacity of 1024 X 768. Thus it is gives more clarity and good picture.
- 11. P-ISMs are connected with one another through short-range wireless technology. The whole set is also connected to the Internet through the cellular phone function. They are connected through Tri wireless modes (Blue tooth, 802.11B/G, and Cellular) which are made small and kept in a small pen like device.
- 12. The most important part in the portable type of computer is its battery. Usually batteries must be small in size and work for longer time. It comes with a battery life of 6+ (i.e., 6 days). For normal use it can be used for 2 weeks.
- 13. Portable i.e., it can be carried Feasible i.e., it is workable, executable Ubiquitous computing is done i.e., being present anywhere at once. Adopts Wi-Fi technology for data transfer. Pens produces both the monitor as well as the keyboard on any flat surfaces from where you can carry out functions.
- 14. The P-ISM is made from 5 loose pens which will move around with any change in the movement of surface area. For example, In a train journey there is a lot of movement which will shake the pens around and shake the projection of the keyboard and screen. So, this can’t be as stable and efficient as a laptop. As the pens are very small and fragile so they can be damaged or you could lose them easily while handling them or carrying them around which will cost you a lot. The keyboard concept is also not new.
- 15. The communication devices are becoming smaller and compact. This is only an example for the start of this new technology. We can expect more such developments in the future.
