History of PDA

PDA derived from the word Personal Digital Assistant, where if we interpret literally the result will be the electronic goods that become our personal assistant or with any other sentence became private secretary. You can examine one by one the meaning of two sentences, the personal assistant and private secretary; in general have the same job, right? Equally perform input the data, record and remind about our works.

The difference is only in the system, if a personal digital assistant, it was clear from the sentence contained in them have the word "digital", we just insert the data by ourselves that exist and we can take with us wherever we want for our work. Then a personal secretary to enter data manually and it is usually done by a woman, well, the woman who would write a list of work we will do and that will always remind us.

From that idea the first time the emergence of PDA, which is to replace someone write a manual or agenda. Where once people use the organizer or a secretary to record all of their activity schedules, phone numbers, or to help in remanding things that mattered to him/her.

What we can get from PDA function

Many people are getting lazy that must carry two different mobile devices to store their personal contacts. If anyone has multiple functions in one device, plus additional attractive features like a camera, why should you buy a separate item? Surely most people think like that, perhaps also including us. PDA or Personal Digital Assistant, a product of a little mini-task many could replace a PC or computer. Shown with small size, still able to grip, a PDA offers high flexibility and mobility. As with computers, we can complete our work and we can take it wherever we want. There are a variety of operating systems that are planted in various types of PDAs, such as Microsoft Pocket PC, Palm, or Linux. Features and applications that can be installed into the PDA were different, but generally have the same function.

But because the technology is growing and people also want things that are practical, then the PDA is becoming obsolete, the community turned to a smart phone that has the same function as a PDA but the phone also has advantages.

PDA makes our work easier

You know PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). An electronic device that has the characteristics of tiny, easy grip (handy gadgets), the size of the bag (pocket-sized), touch screen, special stationery shaped pen (stylus), and has a specific operating system (eg: Palm OS , Windows Mobile / Pocket PC, GNU / Linux Mobile, Symbian OS). This device has the characteristics of the computer, right? But has advantages not possessed by the computer which can be used as a phone (dominant). So it is with any other term PDA is a technology that combines the functions of computers and telephones.

In addition, the PDA also has wireless connectivity, such as, infra red (IrDA), Bluetooth, WiFi (Wireless Fidelity), GPRS (General Packed Radio Service), CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access), EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution) and 3G. What do you think? This little thing is very, very practical, right?  But very rarely used by people, sophisticated objects are mostly used in the medical community, as a medical reference.

This device also can be connected to a printer if you want to get your photo printed directly. Not as good as printed from computer because you can edit it but it’s very practical when we need a fast photo printed. Speaking about good photo printer, choosing their cartridges is an important part. There are many website you can try to visit to get some information about it.
