What is a PDA? Why do I need a PDA?

Despite the abundance and availability of a variety of mobile equipment, some people still do not know what a PDA is, even with a smartphone or other mobile device.

The abbreviation of the PDA is decrypted as a "pocket personal computer". In fact, the device performs the functions of a conventional stationary computer or laptop, plus it's really a personal computer, which is often not true of its "older" kindred. The PDA differs from them not only in dimensions but also in power. Also, you can not disassemble it freely, which is much easier to do with an ordinary desktop computer.

What is a PDA? This is your personal assistant, through which you can read books, view mail, chat with friends, listen to music, write notes. Often this device is also called a handheld, because it easily fits in the palm of your hand.

At the moment, handhelds are not popular among users, because many do not know what a PDA is. The reason for the unpopularity lies in the fact that now many users have smartphones, or communicators, which is often the same. The first include the functions of a PDA and a mobile phone, while the latter include, first of all, a mobile phone and a PDA. But the difference is not too great, and therefore these concepts are often used as synonyms.

However, knowing what a PDA is, you will not discount it, because the PDA spends less energy, because it does not need to constantly look for a network, which significantly reduces power consumption. From this it follows that handhelds hold without charging much longer communicators, especially with the Android system.

So, a pocket personal computer has many functions. The main ones are listed below:

1. Device for reading books.
2. Typewriter. Of course, the PDA is small in size, but some of them have a qwerty keyboard, which is very convenient.
3. Music player.
4. The Internet.
5. Organizer.
6. Games for PDAs exist abound, so if you need to kill time, then your choice will be presented to many interesting toys.

These are the most basic functions of the handheld, which are usually used, but standard programs like a calculator and others are also enough. Also do not forget that the PDA will not replace your desktop computer, if you are engaged, for example, 3D graphics or want to pass a new game, demanding system and hardware requirements.

If you are the owner of this device, then all for the PDA you can find on specialized sites: utilities, games and much more. It should be noted that you will not suffer from a lack of programs designed specifically for handhelds.

In large cities, even there are specialized stores that sell spare parts for PDAs. If there is no such thing in your city, it does not matter. After all, you can order them in online stores, which now exists a lot.

The main advantage of pocket personal computers is their mobility and long battery life, which can not be said about most smartphones. On the other hand, do not forget that a small assistant will not be replaced by a desktop computer that has more functions and more power than a PDA.
