A personal digital assistant (PDA) is no larger than a small appointment book and is normally used for special applications, such as taking notes, displaying telephone numbers and addresses, and keeping track of dates or agendas. Many PDAs can be connected to larger computers to exchange data. Most PDAs come with a pen that lets the user write on the screen.
Some handheld computers feature tiny built-in keyboards or microphones that allow voice input.
Many PDAs let the user access the Internet through a wireless connection, and
several models offer features such as cellular telephones, cameras, music players, and global positioning systems.
