There are a lot of different things to consider when buying a PDA, for the average Joe this can be a jungle. Some aspectes of electronic gadgets appeal more to the affectioned side of a person, often things like design, size and age of the model.
We like to have brand new things of course, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, but we seem to forget the intended use and let affection take over a little to much from time to time.
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.
The smartphone is increasing its market share on the expense of the standalone PDA. This new device is a merge of the PDA and mobile phone thus making a so called smartphone. It's very impressing to see how they pack more and more functionality in these micro devices.
So what I want to talk about here is the importance of size. The size of the device have such an impact on usability and is therefore one of the most important device/purpose matching aspect you will make when purchasing your PDA, whether it is an HP iPAQ or Palm will often not make as much of a difference.
If screen is of high importance, you should often not buy the smallest device. When e.g taking notes is your main area of usage, screen size and inking functionality is tow aspects you must look closer at. By reading reviews you can find out thing s like this, what weaknesses and strength a particular model have. A very good standalone PDA is HP iPAQ 211 follow the link below to read the review.
