Thanks to RSKT for the link.<br /><br />"Policemen on patrol in Housing Board estates will soon be able to tell on the spot if a loiterer is a drug addict or criminal, and whether he lives in the neighbourhood. From next month, about 150 officers will carry with them a palmtop that can access the particulars of people with a criminal record, as well as the registered numbers of stolen vehicles kept in the police data bank.<br /><br />But the information can be accessed only with a password. If all goes well during the six-month trial, all officers will carry the customised Hewlett-Packard Jornada 928. Called a personal digital assistant (PDA), it is a time- and space-saver because, at the moment, officers have to call the operations room in the police station for information, or carry a laptop in their patrol car."
