organizer, you get the general idea). You'll also hear the names pocket PC, handheld organizer,<br />
or Palms. Pocket PCs are typically PDAs that use the Windows CE operating system. 'Palms'<br />
are PDAs that run on the Palm operating system. Other PDAs use their own proprietary OS,<br />
such as the RIM Blackberry. PDAs contain essentially anything one might need from a<br />
computer when on the move. They contain e-mail functionality, fax functionality, and the<br />
ability to access special PDA formatted Web channels, or to browse ordinary Web sites (more<br />
on these below on this page).<br />
PDAs can also easily share information with Windows-based or Macintosh computers. PDAs<br />
are not self-contained — they are designed to synchronize with a desktop PC and keep<br />
information up-to-date on both sides. Thus, what you'll find is that people usually carry a PDA<br />
and a laptop. Check out Palm's site at www.palm.com, or Micros<strong>of</strong>t's site at<br />

Why use a PDA?<br />
• Organization: Combines address book, electronic calendar, notepad, documents, doodle<br />
pad, to-do list, diary, secret codes and passwords, alarm clock, timer and more in one<br />
small, sortable, searchable device.<br />
• Is very easy to use and easy to back up to your PC, and very easy to share data with<br />
others via infrared port beaming or the Internet.<br />
• Can use thousands <strong>of</strong> applications that allow you to do lots <strong>of</strong> other things like read and<br />
send e-mail, view Web pages, documents, spreadsheets, databases, charts and so on.<br />
• Can store a lot <strong>of</strong> text data, such as entire books, and smaller portions <strong>of</strong> multimedia<br />
such as movies, audio and graphics.<br />
• Games<br />
The hot thing on the market today is the "smartphone," which combines the features <strong>of</strong> a PDA<br />
into a cell phone.<br />
