What is a PDA?

Answer:
A PDA (Personal Digital Assistant)

is a small handheld computer. This device is also referred to as a “handheld” or “palmtop” because of its small size and portability.

The function of a PDA was once limited to a sort of electronic “day planner” capable of storing addresses, phone numbers, and other personal information in a digital format. The newest PDAs not only function as an organization tool; additional features now allow multiple functions such as the ability to connect to the Internet, watch videos, play games, work as a cell phone or GPS device, and even send faxes. And, one of the best features of a PDA is the capability of sharing information with your computer.

When you’re ready to purchase a PDA, make sure the one you choose includes features which will benefit your lifestyle the best.
