Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)
The main purpose of a personal digital assistant (PDA) is to act as an electronic organiser or day planner that is portable, easy to use and capable of sharing information with your PC. It's supposed to be an extension of the PC, not a replacement.
PDAs, also called handhelds or palmtops, have definitely evolved over the years.
Not only can they manage your personal information, such as contacts, appointments, and to-do lists, today's devices can also connect to the Internet, act as global positioning system (GPS) devices, and run multimedia software.
What's more, manufacturers have combined PDAs with cell phones, multimedia players and other electronic gadgetry.
As its capabilities continue to grow, the standard PDA device is changing.
Today's traditional PDAs are descendents of the original PalmPilot and Microsoft Handheld PC devices. Palm devices run the Palm OS (operating system), and Microsoft Pocket PCs run Windows Mobile. The differences between the two systems are fewer than in the past.
