  2. PDA’s • PDA stands for Personal Digital Assistant. • PDA’s have been in use for many years and they are generally used to synchronize a person’s computer with an ultra portable device. • PDA’s provide people with access to many functions of a computer, such as email, Internet access, and their personal calendar.

  3. Smart Phones • Smartphones offer the functionality of a PDA combined with a wireless phone.

  4. Cost • Smartphones have become more popular than PDA’s in many markets since the cost of the phone is subsidized when bundled with a contract. • Using a smartphone in place of a PDA allows the owner to carry one less device, assuming he/she would carry a phone in addition to a PDA.

  5. Affect on Notebooks • The advent of smartphones has lead to a decline in the notebook market since many people have discovered they can perform many routine tasks, such as email and Internet surfing, using a smartphone.

  6. Understanding • Be sure to familiarize yourself with different styles of smartphones and PDA’s and the features that affect their cost. • Reading reviews of products is an excellent method of researching before making purchasing decisions.
