Do you call your secretary for scheduling and contacts when you are out of the office?
Do you manage all of your appointments on paper?
Have you ever missed an appointment because of a scheduling snafu?
Take control of your schedule with a Personal Digital Assistant! A PDA is a device about the size of a calculator that helps to keep you organized. It stores your schedule, contacts, and notes. The newer PDAs are actually miniature computers that let you watch videos, listen to music, write documents and view documents and e-mail that are stored on your computer. In addition, many have industry-specific applications. Real estate appraisers can use PDAs to enter information about a specific property. Doctors use PDAs to access a drug database when prescribing medications.
Increasingly used by businesspeople, a smartphone is a combination PDA and cell phone. There are two types of smartphones: the PDA first, cell phone second and cell phone first, PDA second. When looking at smartphones, consider whether you want to use it primarily as a phone or a PDA. Many normal cell phones are starting to include PDA-like functions including playing music, mobile e-mail, web access, and taking photos and videos. Before you purchase a new cell phone or smartphone, DESKTRONIX recommends that you take a look at the user ratings for your phone at C|Net.
