Your Right-hand-man is in your Palm In the 1980s no one who was anyone, went anywhere, without his or her Filofax. The end of the 1990s had replaced it by its digital equivalent - the Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). A PDA is effectively a handheld PC, capable of handling all the normal tasks of its leather-bound ancestor - address book, notepad, appointments diary and phone list. Most PDAs offer many more applications besides, such as spreadsheet, word processor, database, financial management
The personal digital assistant (PDA) is a handheld device originally designed as personal organizers but over the years have advanced becoming the newest tool in the academic toolbox. It had broad capabilities is a powerful reference source as well as a computer and communicator that can be stored in a pocket. The PDA was first developed in 1993 by Apple Computer and was named the Newton. Later Palm, Inc. released the Pilot 1000 and 5000 which retailed for about $500 (Wikipedia). Today the PDA
Convergent and Divergent Product Technology Every day we encounter different convergent and divergent products. Some people like the idea of a do everything Personal Digital Assistant, while others enjoy different products used for different things. Convergence can be defined as the occurrence of two or more things coming together. On the other hand, divergence is the tendency to move apart or evolve in different directions. In the instance of modern-technologies and their use in the information
1.) Products and estimated market potential: The international market in PDAs (Personal Digital Assistant) is increasing every year. In the past, PDA’s were only expected to do simple tasks, like creating a schedule, alarm clock, calculations and other smaller tasks, which were seen as essential for businessmen. However today, the consumer range of PDA did increase immense. University students, teachers, small business owner, taxi driver and other type of occupations do require the need of an
connection. Today anybody can easily call for assistance when he or she is stranded somewhere in the highway during winter blizzard. Besides communication, cellular phones are also equipped with many other features from camera to personal digital assistant (PDA). In the future the researchers might be able to incorporate the video recorder and personal computer together into a small cellular phone. In order to learn more about what a cellular phone has to offer, surfing internet is the most efficient

Mobile Technologies When you hear the term wireless you might think of a laptop. Wireless is the technology of sending information over the air. Many devices now have this technology, from laptops to PDA’s (Personal Digital Assistants) and smartphones. Smartphones even have PDA’s in them in which you can read, send, and receive
common in devices such asplaying game consoles, computers, tablet computers, and phones. They can also be attached to computers or as terminals to networks. They also play a prominent role in the design of digital appliances such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), satellite navigation devices, mobile phones. The popularity of smart phones, tablets, and many types of information appliances is driving the demand and acceptance of common touch screens for portable

They are preparing to present their first product, Sonic 1000 PDA. The Sonic 1000 offers wireless networking, digital technology, dual phone use, 20 gigabytes of memory, four megapixel camera, and voice recognition hands free operation (Kotler & Keller, 2009, p. A5). A marketing consultant group has been secured by Sonic to analyze its current marketing plan. In

Technology has progressed and so has the modern student. Backpacks are now filled with Personal Digital Assistants, MP3 Players, Cell phones and laptops instead of notebooks and #2 pencils. The ease at which students can now wirelessly download electronic information from the internet has created an entire generation of students whose goal is not only to
enable MFIs to achieve significant growth. Kashyap (2009) stressed that “It is difficult for an MFI to upscale significantly and maintain the accuracy and transparency of its loan portfolio without an MIS”.(PAGE?)

classification [21]. Mobile phone as pointing devise: As a research area, several studies use image processing and visual recognition as a base in there interaction technique, since that most of the smart phones and handheld devices are equipped with digital camera. Jiang et al [1] attempted to take advantage of this fact by proposing a study to interact with display through mobile device camera. There method uses the position of the cursor on the display as the basic input source. The presented systems

be looked at before picking a phone. Let’s look at the history of smartphones and where the term came from. Smartphone is a mobile phone that has a mobile operating system that combines personal digital assistant with a mobile phone. They have added more functions into the phone like: media players, digital cameras, video cameras, and GPS. The first smartphone in 1994 only had the capability to send and receive facsimiles, emails, and pages. It also had a few applications like: address book, calendar
According to an article from the Pew Research Center, nearly two-thirds of Americans own a smartphone today. As this statistic continues to rise, more and more aspects of our lives will be impacted in irreversible ways. Consequently, the incorporation of smartphones into daily life is being fought on some fronts, including that of education. There exists a significant rift within individual educational systems on how smartphones should, or should not, be used in academic facilities. Conclusions

Given the growing importance of smartphones, we believe it is important to assess the privacy and security risks of these devices. In this report we give an overview of the key information security risks and opportunities for smartphone users. We also provide practical advice to address the risk and we conclude with some recommendations for research and industry. We stress that the risks should be balanced against the potential benefits of smartphones. A description of the many potential benefits
