Why Purchase a PDA

I’ve heard some people liken a PDA to a gameboy, but actually the two are very different. PDA’s are useful tools, gameboys aren’t exactly considered as a toy! There are many different things you can do with your PDA, including:
Making notes
Email – Send and Receive
Organize your schedule

Admittedly there are some games on your PDA, but it’s not like a gameboy! PDA actually stands for Personal Digital Assistant, it’s actually a computer which is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. It’s amazing how modern technology has miniaturized everything. My PDA is more powerful than my first computer, and it’s a fraction of the size!

There are two popular operating systems for PDA’s, these are Pocket PC (Windows), and Palm. Although PDA’s are all unique they share the same basic features:
Calendar – You can use this to organize your life. All of your meetings and appointments can be stored here
Memo – Write memos to remind yourself
Calculator – Work out equations without making your head hurt! To-Do List – Reminds you what needs to be done
Address Book – Keeps your contact details safe and secure
Keyboard – Tap a virtual keyboard on the screen to type into applications
Character Recognition – Write on the screen instead of tapping a small virtual keyboard.
Email – Write and receive email using wireless internet or through your computers internet connection
Backlight – Allows you to see the screen even if it’s dark.

PDA’s are well suited to people that have to note things down, if you’ve ever written anything on a napkin or in a planner so you don’t forget then you would probably benefit from buying a PDA. PDA’s are also quite entertaining, you can not only play games on them, but you can also watch films on them!

Some people that done like computers may be scared at the thought of buying a PDA, however this doesn’t have to be so scary, it’s much easier to use a pocket pc than it is a fall blown pc.
