Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, PDAs have some limitations compared to PCs
First, PDAs are as expensive as low-end PCs
Second, due to the size limitation of PDA, the storage capacity is relatively limited
For example, a PDA cannot support a device with a large storage capacity such as a hard disk drive.
Third, the input device of PDA is limited
For example, most PDAs have a stylus and touch screen for the user to use the stylus to touch the screen to start the program, which limits the user's input speed, and it is also difficult to enter long information into the PDA
Fourth, the scalability of PDA is limited
For example, PDAs may not support flash memory card readers and some Universal Serial Bus (USB)

Embodiment Construction

[0021] figure 1 Shown is a schematic diagram of a PC 100 of the present invention. PC 100 can be as figure 1 The laptop computer shown is either a desktop computer. For the sake of distinction, a laptop is considered a portable device that has an independent power supply, while a desktop computer is considered a stationary device and usually does not have an independent power supply.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the PC of the present invention can run in PC mode or in PDA mode. In PC mode, a first operating system is run, such as a PC operating system (such as Windows available from Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, Washington). At this point, the PC 100 can perform any or all of the functions of a PC, such as word processing, e-mail, Internet access, and the like. In PDA mode, a second miniature operating system is run. Typically, this miniature operating system (Mini-OS) has fewer instructions and uses less memory than a PC operating syst...
