What's a PDA?
PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) - Is an electronic device which can include some of the functionality of a computer, a music player, a camera and a mobile phone. Basically it's a handheld computer but some common terms and brands for PDAs are handheld pc, electronic organiser, Palm, Palm Pilot, palmtop, Pocket PC, Blackberry and so on. Some confusion comes from the huge variety of PDAs and because some brand names have become a term for the device itself in the same way that Hoover means the same as vacuum cleaner.
How do I use a PDA?
PDAs have over the years developed two main ways of operating. Some have touch screens that you use with a pen like stylus and few buttons, some have full 'qwerty' keyboards and some have both. There are also many accessories which can help such as full-size fold out keyboards etc.
The Apple iPhone uses a technology called Multi-touch which is very user friendly.
What can I do with a PDA?
The question should really be what can't I do with a PDA. They are so advanced now and the pace of developement so quick there is virtually nothing a computer can do that a PDA can't. Uses, features and functions include calculator, word processing, emails, internet browsing, address & calendar functions, GPS (Global Positioning System), games, spreadsheets, mobile phone, music, video recording, camera, clock and many more. Connectivity can be WiFi, Bluetooth, USB etc. They've even been found to be very helpful in the medical profession using programs designed to help diagnosis and drug specifications.
Like any computer there are thousands of programs you can download and buy to tailor your PDA to your needs.
Palm vs Pocket PC, which is better?
There is a passionate debate about which these two operating systems is better and there is no right answer. Both systems are actually more similar than most people think and offer as much power and functionality as each other. Unless you have a very specific need which only one system will deliver (and I can't think what that may be) then you'll find they'll both do the business.
Proponents on both sides will staunchly defend their favourite and this has given rise to many misconceptions. The debate can be looked at in the same way as the Mac vs PC debate, many people feel that a Mac is easier to use, more individual, stable and so on. If you aren't a big Bill Gates fan and don't like Windows then you'll probably want to go for the Palm.
