Has anyone seen the new DHL devices? They're smartphones you sign with your finger.

Sometimes i feel like a nut sometimes i dont
I thought diad four sucked the big one, what a waste of money like Orion. Had to shift up and down to use the inner numbers and letters
1. Are we looking at a DROID sized board? Or is the DIAD V here to stay...
2. Did the 1990 one come with a backpack?

This is correct, I took one home one weekend when they first came out and I took it apart out of curiosity. They let us take them home to practice on since we were one of the first Centers to test them out. They were very fragile, the mother boards would crack easily. They were made in Japan by Tappan Industries if I remember right.

Yes, I know I'm working late.
I alway hated doing the manual dva sends every couple of hours. Had to use a customer's phone and felt like it took forever.

God, help us all.....
I still remember the first time I got a wireless message on the diad; there had not been any disclosure from mgmt. that this was something in the pipeline.
I removed the board from my belt clip, looked at the screen, and thought to myself : "This is not going to be good."

Those boards were the best dog whackers ever. A lot of surface area. Never had one break
Never saw those and never will, no access points for me, rural route.

Do you ever see a credit card reader being added to future versions?
something like the samsung pay app?
Good point. To take it one step further maybe just a tapping the card to the Diad and it reads it, like some credit card machines do.
Diad 5 is great as long as they offered a hard key for the sig button, not some stupid extended reach, in the corner soft key.....what a freakin moronic design.
Also, when you hit deliver and the diad hangs up, and you press it again,.it goes into SDN. SDN should have not been in the same location as deliver, but in the vacant spot to the left just in case you did hit it twice.
Revise diad 5, then add whatever garbage they are going to add anyway.....doesn't need to be smaller.

That was a common practice in the 70's and into the 80's. We used to have a P-600 sitting at the door and every night
when you came in you simply took the stops you didn't deliver for the day and THROW them into the 600. The next day
you get them all back plus the days load. So then you would rotate the load. Meaning the area you skipped the day before
would get done and you would bring back a different area that night and THROW them into the 600. And then when it might slow
down enough you would actually have a day when you could get done all the stops on the car that day.

I've been here since 86, and I never saw anything like that happen where I'm at.
"Every package every day" was all we heard.

Well it did stop when we went to bar codes on packages. And that was probably around the mid 80's.
When the "Every package every day" phrase came out we just used to laugh. Took awhile for us to get
serious about it.
