The Many Uses And Applications Of PDAs
A personal digital assistant (PDA), also called a palmtop computer, is a handheld computer. Color screens as well as audio capabilities have been introduced into the newer PDAs so that they can also be used as smartphones or mobile phones, portable media players or web browsers. Many PDAs can now access the Internet, intranets or extranets using Wi-Fi, or Wireless Wide-Area Networks. Touch screen technologies too have been introduced.
CASIO PF-3000 was the first PDA to be launched in 1983. PDA functionality was first introduced into mobile phone by Nokia in 1996 called 9000 Communicator which is the best selling PDA in the world. This also led to the emergence of the category of phones called smartphones such as the RIM Blackberry, Nokia N-Series and Apple iPhone. The present PDA has the touch screen, and a memory card slot for data storage. Connectivity is provided by Bluetooth, WiFi or IrDA. Those without the touch screen continue with a directional pad, softkeys and a thumb keyboard or numeric keyboard for input. The software typically includes a to-do list, appointment calendar, an address book and a note program. Web support and E-mail is available with those PDAs having web connectivity.PDAs can store information which can be accessed whenever the user wants to access them. PDA, when fitted with differential Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers, offer realtime automobile navigation. New cars are often fitted with such PDAs. Many PDAs are also enabled to display road conditions, traffic conditions, roadside mobile radar guns and dynamic routing.
Some well known PDAs are E-TEN, Acer N Series, Abacus PDA Watch, Audiovox (Sprint) PPC Series, AlphaSmart, Encore Simputer, Amida Simputer, Fujitsu Siemens Loox, BlackBerry, I-mate, HP iPAQ, Dell Axim X51, Nokia E Series, MotoRokr E8, Motorola Rokr E6, Apple Inc.'s iPhone & iPod Touch and SonyEricsson P-series. Further details can be had, for instance, for Dell Axim X51 from Dell Axim X51 review
PDAs are also used for mobile data applications by businesses and government organizations. Applications include package delivery, supply chain management in warehouses, medical treatment and record keeping in hospitals, route accounting, parking enforcement, facilities maintenance and management, capital asset maintenance, access control and security, ‘wireless waitress’ applications in restaurants and hospitality venues, and meter reading by utilities. Data capture devices such as Bar Code, Smart Card Readers and RFID were also incorporated into many of these PDAs. 77
Hands On With Unit 13 (Game Informer)
Shooter fans sick of lackluster options on handheld devices heaved a huge sigh
of relief when Sony announced the Vita would ship with two analog sticks. For
far too long, developers were forced to come up with clever workarounds for
importing shooters to mobile platforms. Some titles (like Syphon Filter: Dark
Mirror and SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo) found a way to impersonate shooter controls,
but achieving functionality is a far cry from the silky smooth controls proper
analog sticks offer. Unit 13 is one of the first Vita titles to take advantage
of the long awated functionality.
This third-person shooter made by Zipper Interactive (SOCOM, MAG) stresses
tactics over running and gunning. The collection of 36 stand-alone missions
centers on a conflict with African warlords, but Zipper chose not to invest
much time in the narrative because when you're playing on the go, getting in
and out of your experience is sometimes more important than spending your
limited time watching cutscenes. As such, the missions sort of work like mini
narratives of their own. These tasks typically last between 5 to 25 minutes,
and when you complete one you unlock both the mission next to and ...
