It shows how as technology has advanced, the size and features of cell phones and PDAs has also advanced, to the point where cell phones and PDAs have many functions that were once the exclusive domain of facsimiles and personal computers. It provides a brief history of the development of both gadgets and outlines their main functions and discusses current advancements as well as what the future holds for them.
From the Paper
"In 1994, the FCC declared it was allocating spectrum specifically for PCS technologies at the 1,900 MHz band. These new digital wireless standards are currently still being used in PCS. With these technological advances, the marketing of cell phones shifted from high volume business users who were largely unconcerned with cost to the general public who was cost conscious and lobbied for a higher quality of service and more features. In 2001, Ericsson launched its color-screened T69 in Europe; by 2002, Sprint PCS, Motorola, Nextel, and other major cell phone manufacturers released their own versions of color-screen cell phones among much fanfare.

From the Paper
"The era of the Dot.com has come to an end. Customers are no longer enamored of new and snazzy technical gadgets. So too is their reluctance with snapping up the newer versions of software that are flooding the markets. There are reports that there has been a full stop to the purchasing of products and services all around without the comprehension of the exact benefits that they would derive and the impact of these products and services on the bottom line and whether this would be in keeping with the overall business objectives. This has caused a reversal of fortunes for the computer companies and there has been a realization that a lot of effort is needed to find fresh revenue generating markets and invigorate the old markets. It is in Health care that these companies have found the fresh market that they were looking for to generate revenues that were not coming in. Health care was one segment of industry that was slow in going in for information technology and still has to go along way in embracing this new technology and thereby automating its most fundamental processes. (What's New in Mobile Computing for Healthcare?)"

Abstract
This paper discusses how the rapid growth of the wireless communication technology has had a great impact on our business and day to day activities and how the cell phones and the PDAs have become ubiquitous communication tools. It outlines the basic functions of each gadget and shows how integration with other communications devices, improved display quality and the ability to access the web have made these cell phones, PDAs, and other digital gadgets an indispensable tool for the mobile workforce.
From the Paper
"Personal Digital Assistants are highly portable and self-contained computing systems that are fast becoming an integral part of the mobile computing world. The integration of wireless LAN technology and PDAs has given a new level of mobility to the users. With the possibility of web access becoming a reality PDAs have an advantage over the cell phones because of their large screen displays. So it is plainly obvious that the growth of the PDAs lies centered around the interfacing or the integration with the other systems using wireless LANs. [Raymond .P. Weneig, 31]"

Abstract
The writer of this article argues that in today's fast-paced world in which emergency rooms, doctor offices, clinics and hospitals are overwhelmed with the caseload of patients in need of care, the use of the personal digital assistant (PDA) has become if not a requirement, a definite tool for nursing that is considered non-optional by many nurses and has been adopted into the training program for many school and university nursing programs. The writer maintains that the use of PDAs is expected to experience rapid growth due to the convenience, efficiency, and functionality of the PDA in the role of nursing in that it frees the nurse from rushing back and forth to the tethered PC to input information. The writer explains that the PDA provides a method for the nurse to rapidly access information relating to patient care, drug dosage information and other necessary information required in the role of nursing. The writer concludes that recommendations arising from studies conducted in the top nursing schools across the United States have recognized the benefits of the use of PDAs by nursing staff and are making recommendations and plans for inclusion of PDAs in nursing education curriculum.

Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"Using PDAs allows nurses to expediently and accurately access current drug and clinical references and medical calculators. Patient's data may be recorded while they work and they may quickly chart and share data in an efficient manner. Patient data can also be organized and tracked easily with the PDA and treatments and assessments are able to be documented in real-time. Another aspect of the Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) is the provision of contact lists, email, date books, and to do lists for personal organization as well as the ability to make word documents and power point presentations."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the PDA (Personal Digital Assistants) innovation should be managed to fit into today?s society. It touches on the need, engineering and development, and marketing of PDAs. In addition, management techniques used in each one of those phases are discussed. Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) have become more popular over the last few years. PDAs are becoming as popular as personal computers, and the author discusses how there should be a manageable way to develop a newer PDA that will fit into the 21st century.
From the Paper
"Now imagine this device hooked up not only to what we now call the telephone system but to the Internet as well. Now you can order a cyber-pizza or visit the virtual White House while strolling around the golf course. This technology is almost here now. When PDAs are available and cheap, and long distance phone service is cheap, they will replace many of the devices that we have today, combining them into one unit.7 New product innovations must move in the direction of more compact, multiple function, and better ability to interconnect with a variety of other devices and operating systems. New product innovations will move in the direction of greater connectivity with the world, any place, any time."

Abstract
With the advent of more advanced cellular phones, the PDA has seen a decline in popularity. The paper shows that this product still seems a viable one as certain platforms are seeing sales growth; however, it would appear some redesigning needs to be done in order to recapture their previous place in the market. This report provides some history on the PDA.
From the Paper
"The personal digital assistant (PDA) was first marketed as such in January 1992, although earlier devices had similar capabilities. All PDAs have certain capabilities that have made them useful to the business user. Even the most basic PDA contains the programming to act as both a date book and an address book and contains such things areas for memos, making notes, a clock, and a calculator. One useful capability that PDAs possess is the ability to share data with personal computers ("Personal digital assistant," 2005, par. 1),..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that today, healthcare practitioners enjoy a wide range of digital equipment that can help them provide more efficient healthcare services, including laptop computers, cellular telephones and personal digital assistants, or PDAs. The writer points out that these devices have been used in various ways by clinicians to improve their ability to deliver more timely and accurate diagnoses and treatments and it is clear that the use of these devices will continue to increase in the future. The writer provides a current snapshot of how personal digital assistants are being used in various healthcare settings, including military and government tertiary facilities and the use of PDAs on the battlefield in times of war, but with a specific focus on how PDAs are being used in nongovernmental healthcare facilities today. To this end, a critical review of the relevant peer-reviewed and scholarly literature is provided to describe the general history and evolvement of PDAs, a recapitulation of current literature and research studies, a discussion of how these devices are currently being used in the healthcare arena, and an estimation of future trends based on the foregoing descriptions. A summary of the research and relevant findings are presented in the conclusion.
Outline:
Review and Discussion
History and Evolvement of PDAs in the Healthcare Field
Current Literature and Research Studies
Application of the Area in the Healthcare Arena
Visions for the Future
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The research showed that personal digital assistants, or PDAs, are increasingly popular handheld devices that provide users with a vast array of functions and features that are particularly useful in healthcare settings. The research also showed that while PDAs are becoming smaller and more powerful, they are also becoming easier to use, but some healthcare practitioners may be reluctant to invest the time needed to learn how to use these devices efficiently today. There appears to be some good reason for this reluctance on the part of many healthcare professionals as well. Past trends suggest that PDAs, like other digital devices, may well just be interim technology that will be eventually supplanted by the ubiquitous computing environment that many observers predict will be firmly in place in the near future. In the meantime, the research was clear in showing that more and more people are using PDAs in their personal and professional lives, and healthcare providers are no exception. A few studies concerning how these devices can be used in various healthcare settings have already found their way into the peer-reviewed, organizational and military-based literature, and it is reasonable to conclude that new applications for PDAs will continue to be identified in healthcare until such a time as a superior technology emerges to replace them. Finally, the U.S. Department of Defense was shown to be a firm advocate of the use of PDAs by healthcare providers as part of its ongoing initiative to transform the battlefield into a comprehensive digital environment wherein resources can be more effectively deployed and better use of existing resources can be accomplished."

Abstract
This paper explains that the computer interface includes both the hardware and software that enables the user to ask for information, to input data, to give command, and to get the computer to perform processes as needed. The author points out that the design of the interface is achieved by considering the role of the hardware and software, the demands of the user, and the physical, cognitive, psychological and even emotional needs of the user. The paper emphasizes that the user wants the hardware and software to provide its service as easily and effectively as possible. The author underscores that the field of interface design has expanded along with the many computer systems people access, such as PDAs, cell phones, MP3 players, DVD recorders and cable boxes.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Development of the Interface
Changes in Interface Design
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Of course, the cell phone has become more complex and often uses an interface with which the consumer is not familiar. This has become an issue as the telephone tries to offer more and more services and more and more processes that can be accomplished with the cell phone. A related issue is that the size of the cell phone has been much reduced, leaving many users with a keyboard they can barely access without making a mistake. The problem of small size also plagues PDAs and laptops and adds to the difficulty involved in interface design."

From the Paper
"When electricity is applied to the OLED (around 2 to 10 volts), the electrical current is received by the cathode and gives electrons to the emissive layer. At the same time the anode also receives an electric current and it sucks electrons from the conductive layer. This creates "electron holes" between the emissive and conductive layers, which are then filled up. This is the step which creates light. To create brighter light, it is only necessary to increate the electrical current. To create colors, several OLED layers are used which contain color components for red, green, and blue (Freudenrich, n.d.)."

The PDA, 2006.
This paper discusses the PDA market, emphasizing the importance of support services for operating platforms and price.
1,040 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 36.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that PDAs function as mobile personal computers for most users; therefore, the key feature that users demand is an adaptable and consistently updated operating system. The author points out that customers, who are willing to pay for a better quality product, are usually much less price sensitive and much more quality focused, thus charging more for these additional upgrades should not significantly impact overall sales. The paper refers to products such as Microsoft Treo, Psion, Amida, Sony CLIE, HP IPAQ, Radio Shack, Sonic and Dell Axim.
From the Paper
"Traditional post sale service arrangements provide a repair center in which users can send their PDAs for repair or replacement. However, recently companies such as Psion and Fujitsu have begun offering "at home repair services", which allows users to upload their PDA's internal data over the internet and self-repair software issues over the internet. They also offer overnight shipping of new parts to expedite the repair process. The first step is to create a support call center with experienced product service managers. Creating a standard operating procedure for common problems and making this documentation available over the internet would be extremely helpful."
