- Webopedia.com Short for personal digital assistant, a handheld device that combines computing, telephone/fax, Internet and networking features. A typical PDA can function as a cellular phone, fax sender, Web browser and personal organizer. Unlike portable computers, most PDAs began as pen-based, using a stylus rather than a keyboard for input. This means that they also incorporated handwriting recognition features. Some PDAs can also react to voice input by using voice recognition technologies. PDAs of today are available in either a stylus or keyboard version.

Apple Computer, which introduced the Newton MessagePad in 1993, was one of the first companies to offer PDAs. Shortly thereafter, several other manufacturers offered similar products. Today, one of the most popular brands of PDAs is the series of Palm Pilots from Palm, Inc.

- Consumersearch.com The war between the two main competing handheld operating systems -- Palm and Windows Mobile -- has almost become a nonissue, and reviews say that PDAs equipped with the latest Palm OS are just as adept at multimedia tasks as Windows models. And even Palm now offers smartphones that use Windows Mobile instead of its own operating system. Although reviewers have in the past generally preferred the Palm OS, of late many are saying that it has been too long since the Palm OS has been last updated and that the operating system is really beginning to show its age.

Microsoft, on the other hand, continues to update its mobile operating system. Current Windows PDAs use either Windows Mobile 5.0 or the latest version, Windows Mobile 6.0.

Although reviews say that neither Palm nor Windows Mobile has a huge advantage in functionality, one factor might still tip the scales. Windows Mobile is not compatible with Macintosh computers, so you won't be able to use iSync to synchronize your PDA with your Mac computer. You can, however, purchase third-party software for around $40 that will let you sync a Windows-based PDA with a Mac. Right now, only Palm OS PDAs will work with a Mac without supplemental software.
