PDA cell phones are the next hot item in the personal technology sector. A PDA cell phone combines a PDA with a cell phone, and combines features found in both of them to make users' lives easier. Many cell phones feature PDA qualities, and the line between a "smart" cell phone and a PDA cell phone is increasingly blurry.
One way a PDA cell phone provides greater convenience is by storing contacts' addresses and phone numbers, while most cell phones only store phone numbers. Many PDA cell phones also take advantage of a cell phone's ability to text message and the PDA's ability to store data in order to receive documents by phone and store them on the PDA. Calendars, to-do lists and memo areas. PDA cell phones can also be synchronized to personal computers, and information may be altered by using a keyboard instead of having to change information using a cell phone's number pad.
Two of the most cutting-edge PDA cell phones are the Blackberry and Apple's upcoming iPhone. The Blackberry contains a miniature keyboard, in addition to Wi-Fi capability, which enables the Blackberry to connect to the Internet and use a Bluetooth wireless earpiece. The Apple iPhone combines a PDA cell phone with an mp3 player, and features a full-color touch-tone screen. |
