    • Abstract:
      The article reports on the plan of the U.S. Bureau of the Census to deploy handheld computers for use in updating addresses in preparation for the 2010 census. According to Mike Murray, vice president of census programs at the vendor's government communications systems division, the initial 1,400 handhelds will be used in a dress rehearsal of address updates in two test markets during May and June. Senator Tom Coburn has questioned the need for the handheld program and criticized the Census Bureau for not putting census surveys online.
