What is a PDA?
PDA’s (Personal Digital Assistant) are mobile devices used as a personal information manager and can perform various functions simultaneously. Sometimes known as ‘Smartphones’, they perform easy functions that used to be only done on computers and laptops. Today’s PDA can be synchronized to the laptops or computer share information or work simultaneously with both, saving the savvy consumer time, effort and money.
What was once thought of as a technological miracle only a few short years ago is now part of both the everyday and business mainstream. It can be used as a computer, a camera, a notes pad, tv and cd player, and a cell phone. They are now thinner and small enough to fit in your purse, your pocket or your briefcase. It has become such a part of society and the culture in which we live that we often feel naked without it.
Most PDA’s have touch screens, but some still have the traditional key pad, much like a computer. You can use it strictly as a note pad, not having the capability of a cell phone available if that is what you choose. It can be used as storage, backing up old computers and parking information on their hard drive. There are detachable keyboards as well for the die hard and those not comfortable with the ever changing landscape of technology.

Seems that Technology industry will have enough difficulties in 2009, considering the global nature of the recession, but smartphones and netbooks will sell well.
