Project PDA

1. Operating System

RAM

All the data you enter into your PDA is stored in the RAM: text, addresses, photos, etc.. The amount of RAM varies depending on your operating system: the PDA based Palm OS often have at least 8 MB of memory; the using Windows, have at least 16 MB. So look for a device with 64MB or more.

Buying PDAs

In today's society, it can easily become hard to keep track of all of our plans, appointments, important dates and times and lists. We try to list things on paper, checking items off as they go. We can remind ourselves on paper to pick on the dry cleaning, to hit the grocery store on the way back from taking our children to school, or of the phone calls that we need to make before lunch. We can scribble all of these dates and times on a calendar or in a planner, reminding us about PTA meetings and doctor or dentist appointments.

The rumors and speculation are over and it’s now official – Apple announced yesterday that it will launch the iPhone towards the end of 2007. And not only has Apple managed to create a device that is sexy (in true Apple fashion) but it has also introduced a number of features that really outdo the competition.

This new device seems to have just about everything all the other phone manufactures haven’t been able to get right - namely a web browser, email, calendar, SMS, an integrated address book, video player, support for Google maps, Yahoo email, and of course, an MP3 Player.

Choosing a service provider

The first and arguably the most important decision that needs to be made before buying a new mobile phone is deciding which service provider to use. With all of the complex voice, data, and feature plans available, there isn't a magic formula or overly simplistic piece of advice to give. We recommend relying on the service providers' technology and coverage that will best meet your needs. Remember to take into consideration that you may work in an area that has great coverage, but live in an area that gets horrible reception.
