A PDA rewrites the script and reels in the scribblers

Article Abstract:

Personal digital assistants (PDAs) are gaining in popularity due to improved features. PDAs now offer Internet access, e-mail capacity, improved weight and functionality ratios, and some models will soon feature wireless modems. Other improvements such as touch-screen indexing and better handwriting recognition features are replacing keyboard-based PDAs, and these are expected to be replaced in turn by improved speech command recognition.

AWA fails to find home for the kitty

Article Abstract:

The Australian gambling company AWA has A$35 million of surplus cash and has been looking unsuccessfully for an acquisition target. A planned acquisition of the gambling equipment manufacturer Olympic fell apart after a disagreement. AWA would like to buy the TAB of one of the Australian states, but that seems to be unlikely as of this moment. AWA may give back A$25 million to its shareholders through a stock buyback.
