PDA
Short for Personal Digital Assistant, PDA is a device similar to a computer that fits in the palm of your hand and allows the user to
collect such information as contacts, appointments, files, programs, and more.
The term PDA was first used by John Scully at CES on
January 7, 1992, while describing the Apple
Newton. In the picture to the right, is the Palm Tungsten | E2,
and an example of a PDA. Today, with the popularity and advances in cell phones,
PDA's are rarely found and used as users migrate to smartphones like the
iPhone.
