Your Questions
What will happen if I charge my PDA with the same voltage charger but a slightly higher amp?
The original charger output is 5V and 1AMP but the new charger is 5V and 1.5AMP.
Will it make any difference? Will my PDA be fried up?
Appreciate your help.

The current rating on the new power supply of 1.5 amps means it can be loaded up with higher batteries.
No you will not fry your PDA. And there is now worry on the PDA getting damaged due to just a change in higher current rating. A higher voltage rating would mess your PDA.
Here is an analogy…
Imagine current as the flow of water in a pipe, a 1amp to 1.5 amp means you have higher flow of water.
The 5volts is your pail. This means you want to fill up you pail with 5volts of water. Using the 1.5 amp supply - higher flow of water, you will fill up the pail faster. It does not damage the pail but it fills it up faster.
The only time you would damage your PDA is when you over charge it, which means you keep it plugged in even when the charge light already said it is fully charged. But in better PDA’s this should not be a problem since the charger circuit has an overcharge and temp overload protection circuit. It just makes you battery life shorter due to overheating the battery.
