Police Use IPAQ PDAs to Issue Speeding Tickets Faster
Police are using IPAQ Pocket PCs to write speeding tickets in Richland Hills, TX. The unfortunate motorist signs on the touch screen, and the ticket is printed in a separate small printer. Turns out that it saves 10 mins on each stop over the old method.

Read all about it at the Star-Telegram article, where they say "Within minutes, drivers are on their way and officers are back on patrol."

Just what we need... more time to hand out more tickets for everyone. I hope I'm not using one of those things myself anytime soon!
