Personal Digital Assistants

Programs that pay for or provide portable electronic organizers which are used to enter, store and display appointments, schedules, addresses, telephone numbers, task lists, reminders and other personal information. PDAs generally have the ability to connect to the Internet and synchronize data with a PC or laptop; and most have features which allow them to be used as mobile phones or portable media players. Enterprise digital assistants further extend the available functionality for the business user by offering integrated data capture devices like barcode, radio frequency identification (RFID) and smart card readers.
