  2. PDA = Personal Digital Assistant

    Depending on which you choose, you can have to ability to do almost everything (in simpler form) just about anything a laptop can.

    I’ve had a Palm for many years, and I’ve used it as my laptop to take notes, set my schedule, keep my contacts info, play games, play music/videos, do math, read ebooks, take pictures, and a few hundred other things.

    And mine isn’t even a “phone” model. With a phone model, you can add going online, having a phone, etc.

    I know that I’d be lost without it… I love it. (It’s a Zire 71)

  3. PDA stands for Personal Digital Assistant. Alone, they’re little devices that make it so that your never really away from a computer, from being able to play games on them to manage your schedule and contacts to keep track on memo’s, to-do lists, everything the paper dayplanner/address book did. You can buy programs to put on them so that you can look at and edit documents, pictures, spreadsheets, powerpoint projects, etc. On a phone, you can use the cell network to then connect to the internet and recieve email on the go. They’re designed for the business person, so that they’re able to keep up with business while they travel, but just about anyone can find a use for them.
