Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)

Handheld computers and personal digital assistants (PDAs) combine the tools of an organizer with the power of a computer processor in a pocket-sized product. Using a hard drive and a unique stylus pen, PDA users can not only keep electronic versions of phone numbers, addresses and schedule, but they can also access e-mail and write memos and notes. The technology has existed since the 1980s, but PDAs didn’t become popular until 3Com’s 1996 introduction of the PalmPilot. The articles below provide information on handheld computers and PDAs.
