Well-written reviews is what I have always read before making any purchase, and I suggest you do the same prior to making your PDA purchase. People often buy things that they later regret by being in a very emotional state and forget to do their home work first.
Don't let some sales pitch mislead you into thinking you need more features than you are ready to pay for, its so common people do get caught up in the tech race with friends. Don't lose focus and end up paying for features not needed.
Even though there are brand new models released from manufacturers all the time, with more and more features all the time. We should really ask ourselves if this is something we going to use do we really want to pay for them.
A new upcomer, the smarthphone, is gradually increasing its market share. This device integrates the functionality of a cell phone with the PDA. So once again the engineers have packed in more features per square centimeter.
Integrating functionality from before standalone devices is great, but it often degrades usability as the size of the device decreases.
While functionality increases per square cm the usability is decreasing, the size is actually one of the most important aspects to look at in a PDA. Size is a cruical aspect to look at on a PDA that can make or break the deal. The brand is not as important as one might think, every manufacturer have good and bad models, just make sure to find out the good ones. Whether it's a Palm or IPAQ is secondary now when palm supports the Pocket PC hardware specification.
The screen of the device is often quite unpleasant to use on a small device, when utilizing the PDA e.g to take notes. So if you are a person looking to purchase a handheld PC with taking notes in mind, think again before you run off to get the smallest and hottest smartphone on the market, a standalone PDA might just be what you need. HP iPAQ 211 is a very good standalone PDA, follow the link below to read a review. - 15359
