PDAs: market research reports

A personal digital assistant (PDA) is a small mobile device that manages data and connects to the Internet. PDAs are also known as personal data assistants. A PDA has a small visual display, audio output, a media player, a memory card slot, and Bluetooth or wifi. Many PDAs now feature touchscreen technology, although some popular brands still employ softkeys, directional pads, or thumb keyboards.

Apple coined the term PDA in 1992 when showcasing the Apple Newton. A few years later, Nokia released the 9000 Communicator, which spawned a new market of mobile phones. Over time, the PDA evolved to be known as the smartphone. PDAs without phone functionality are still in use, however the smartphone, or combination of mobile phone and PDA has taken over the market. The latest PDAs on the market are the Apple iPhone, the HTC HD2, the Apple iPod Touch, the Palm Pre and the Palm Pixi.
Software features on a PDA include an appointment calendar, list making software, an address book, a calculator, and a writing program. PDA models with wireless data connections also feature an email client and a web browser.
