PDA Devices
Personal Data Assistants, a 90's technology gadget given new life with innovation

PDA stands for Personal Data Assistant. PDAs are handheld computing devices also called Palm Tops; they can also encompass the Pocket PC category of handheld device.

The humble PDA started off as electronic personal organizers, an electronic replacement to the old analogue (hand-written) style Day Runner or Franklin. The biggest advantage to the electronic day planner was that it could be synchronized with your PC and therefore all your notes would be backed up and replicated, never to be lost as any notepad is extremely susceptible.

The basics features included in any device we call a PDA are:

* Personal Handheld Organizer
* Clock
* Date Book
* Calculator
* Address Book
* Tasklist
* Memo Pad

And, of course, they've almost always included some sort of rudimentary games.

Today's Personal Data Assistants run powerful handheld operating systems depending on the type you buy.
The most popular include:

* Blackberry
* Palm OS
* Windows Mobile

Palm OS and Blackberry are operating systems that were designed for intuitive ease of use, giving the handheld user a maximum of options with a minimum number of clicks. Both systems employ a "select" button system and an escape. The Blackberry uses its wheel to toggle through options. Palm devices use a touch screen that allows you to press the desired on-screen button with a plastic pen called a stylus. The stylus is a pointer designed to press on the Palm's touch screens without damaging it. You could, of course, use your finger to press any of the touch-sensitive buttons on the Palm's screen but that would lead to smudges and fingerprints on the screen.

The Palm OS runs on many different devices by other manufacturers, including the Sony Clie, Handspring Visor and Tapwave Zodiac. The Windows Mobile operating system is an extension of the Microsoft Windows operating system and can run on a wide variety of PDA devices known as Pocket PCs, a slightly different class of PDA that has almost all the same features.

Besides Pocket PCs, Blackberrys and Palms there are a variety of gaming-oriented PDAs as well. While not the gaming powerhouses the PSP might be, devices like Nokia's N-gage and Palm's own Tapwave Zodiac merge the PDA organizer with high-resolution screens and controls for playing games.

Today's palmtops or PDA devices have come a long way since their origins as a personal organizer. Today they come with the ability to communicate wirelessly to networks with wi-fi, allowing the handheld access to any VPN, while Bluetooth gives the handheld abilities to communicate with peripheral devices like hands-free earpieces. Some, like the Blackberry, specializes in wireless voice and data connections, allowing them to send and receive emails, browse the web and act as a mobile phone.

Most PDA devices today are pushing the limits on storage capacity, although only a few have so far ventured into the micro-hard drive territory which greatly expands the storage capacity, making PDAs potentially every bit as powerful and flexible as a desktop PC.

Handheld Ebook Reader

If you’re a big fan of the Kindle and own either of the first and second generation models of it, you’re probably wondering how the just-released Kindle DX differs from what you have now. Another question that’s foremost in people’s minds especially those looking to get a DX is whether the 489-dollar price tag is worth it. Shelling out almost 500 dollars for a gadget is no simple matter so this Kindle DX Review will look at what this latest version has to offer.

The Kindle 2 is the older of the two units and as such, has slightly less to offer in terms of size and capability. It is a smaller device that measures 8″ x 5.3″ x 0.36″ with a 6″ diagonal screen. At only 10.2 ounces, slightly more than half a pound, it is a perfect portable ebook reader. And when you consider that its 2GB hard drive can hold roughly 1,500 books, it’s hard to imagine you would ever find yourself without a good book at your side. The Kindle 2 sells for 259 dollars right now, making it way more affordabe than the Kindle DX.

The new Kindle DX comes onto the market with a bigger is better attitude. The unit itself is 10.4″ x 7.2″ x 0.38″, but it boasts a huge 9.7″ screen with an auto-rotating feature. This means you can switch between landscape and portrait just by turning the device, making it great for newspapers or picture-heavy kid’s books. But this size means it weighs more as well. Nearly twice as much at a hefty 18.9 ounces.

It still isn’t nearly as heavy as the 3,500 books that could fit onto its 4 GB hard drive. In addition, you get a native PDF reader, one of the biggest complaints about the Kindle 2 being that it didn’t have one. But all these upgrades come at a price, meaning the Kindle DX is a 489-dollar ebook reader, which many people may just find to be too much.

Just because the Kindle DX is the newer version doesn’t necessarily mean it is the better one. It may have plenty of features the Kindle 2 doesn’t, but the Kindle 2 has size on its side. The DX works well at home, but the Kindle 2 still wins out in terms of portability. The price difference may be a head-turner as well. While the DX has a lot more to offer, the Kindle 2 is still a great ebook reader and costs quite a bit less. For many people, the Kindle 2 may have all the features they need. It still replaces crumbling old books or the dozen textbooks in your backpack. Whichever one suits you best, you cannot really go wrong with Amazon’s ebook readers.
