A Personal digital assistant (PDA) is a handheld computer, but has become much more versatile over the years. PDAs are also known as small computers or palmtop computers. PDAs have many uses: calculation, use as a clock and calendar, accessing the Internet, sending and receiving E-mails, video recording, typewriting and word processing, use as an address book, making and writing on spreadsheets, scanning bar codes, use as a radio or stereo, playing computer games, recording survey responses, and Global Positioning System (GPS). Newer PDAs also have both color screens and audio capabilities, enabling them to be used as mobile phones (smartphones), web browsers, or portable media players. Many PDAs can access the Internet, intranets or extranets via Wi-Fi, or Wireless Wide-Area Networks (WWANs). Many PDAs employ touch screen technology.

That being said…I have always been a fan of PALM PDA’s. If you go to their website palmone.com you will find some great PDAs at all different price points. They even have good quality refurbished models.

A PDA keeps you organized and up to date. You can record, draw, write, and listen to music, post appointments. Stuff like that. I would definitely recommend a PDA. I have one and i love it!
