Some Helpful Hints
What does "PDA" stand for?
PDA stands for "Personal Digital Assistant." In its most basic form, a PDA is an electronic organizer, although many PDA's capabilities go well beyond anything you could do with an old-fashioned planner or organizer.
What can a PDA do?
Nowadays, it may be more pertinent to ask what a PDA cannot do. In addition to basic calendar, address book, and task-list programs, high-end PDAs often allow for wireless connection to the Internet (for Web browsing and e-mail), have built-in MP3 players, take digital photographs, and double as mobile telephones. Some new PDAs can even double as global positioning devices, showing users exactly where they are on a map. Most PDAs come with infrared ports that allow users to "beam" information to each other. These same infrared ports allow PDA users to connect wirelessly to a computer network if it is available.
PDAs are also usually able to exchange information with full-sized computers. For instance, you might transfer a document from your computer to your PDA so that you could work on it while on the go. The process of exchanging information between your computer and PDA is called, appropriately, "synchronizing" them.
