The Pebbles Project at Carnegie Mellon University is working to create new technologies and applications for personal digital assistants (PDAs). Many avenues of investigation are being explored, including networking and synchronizing multiple PDAs, using handheld devices in classrooms and in conjunction with a fixed computer, and integrating assistant technologies into handheld devices for people with disabilities. The project's homepage has many conference papers and technical reports available for download, as well as streaming video of an hour and a half talk on Mobile Devices for Control presented by the project leader. Software developed by members of the Pebbles project is also provided.
