The Genii That Is The Personal Digital Assistant
A handheld computer is called a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). As it carries out the basic functions of a computer and fits into the palm, it is also called a palmtop computer. Its palm size makes it very easy to carry around, and use anywhere and everywhere. It combines the functions of a media player, mobile phone and web browser. The Internet, intranet and extranets can be accessed through Wi-Fi or Wireless Wide-Area Networks where available.
Government organizations and business organizations deploy PDAs for a variety of purposes. The applications that PDAs are used for include medical treatment and record keeping in hospitals, package delivery and supply chain management in warehouses, ‘wireless waitress’ applications in restaurants and hospitality venues and facilities maintenance and management. PDAs find other applications in route accounting, meter reading by utilities, capital asset maintenance, parking enforcement and access control and security. Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) devices such as Smart Card Readers, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), magnetic stripes, Bar Code, biometrics, voice recognition and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) are being integrated into PDAs. Identification of objects, collection of data and automatic entry of these data is possible with these applications.
Personal Manager Applications were only featured in PDAs initially. Normally this consisted of diary, appointment calendar, scheduler, address and phone book, a notebook program, To-do list, some games, Organizer, Calculator, World time and Alarms. To these were added the functions of the simple camera, editors, text readers and game emulation. Later such programs as handwriting recognition software, Notepad, common reference material, Finance software, Drawing application, Voice recorder, File manager, Printer connection and Data synchronization were added. More and more functions began to be enabled with Wireless Wide-Area Networks or Wi-Fi. PDAs could be enabled with even more applications accessing the Internet such as sending Email, browsing the web and online transactions in purchase and banking, downloading e-book and many more. Its functionality was further enhanced with the addition of such software programs as Word processor, Custom dictionary, Spell checker and Spreadsheet.
The PDA market is expanding rapidly with numerous models in the market offering a variety of features. These include PalmOne M515, Palm TX, Palm Z22, Pharos 535e Traveler, HP iPAQ 111 Classic Handheld, Palm TX Handheld, Palm Tungsten E2 Handheld, and Nokia N810 Portable Internet Tablet. To get further details on what people feel about these models, you could search for Palm TX handheld review on the Internet for Palm TX.
The applications in PDAs and their role in varied activities related to our work and life in general have made PDAs a critical tool to better our efficiency and effectiveness. Convergence of technologies and functions make it possible to carry out and manage activities related to our homes, purchases, finances, education, businesses, and health amongst others.
