If you consider yourself advanced in terms of computer technology, if you are not enough for the functions of a regular mobile phone, then it’s time to think about buying a PDA – a pocket personal computer. He will always keep abreast of events, remind you of important meetings and simply entertain in a long road. Until recently, the CPC was considered expensive and useless toys, but with the development of technology and the course of time, they turned into an integral attribute of the life of an average businessman, and not only. Today, many PDAs are not inferior in performance and functionality to some laptops. But before buying such a device, you need to understand some features.
So, the PDA is a miniature computer that is placed in the palm of your hand, and with which you can work with tables, text files, listen to audio and view video files. In addition, the PDA perform the functions of a notebook, organizer, an alarm clock, a telephone book.
You can also work with email, news and Internet files using PDAs. There is no need to worry that any data does not recognize the computer, because these two devices are easily synchronized using a package of programs and drivers.
Already today, special programs have been created for the CCP: postal customers, editors, browsers, reference books and organizers, scientific programs, MP3 players, e -books reading programs and much more. All this makes the “ladders” indispensable assistants not only in work, but also in everyday life.
PDA, like any stationary computer, has its own operating system (OS). The leaders in this area are Microsoft Windows Mobile (and its various versions) and Palmos. Of course, these are completely different systems for different PDAs, and replacing one another is not possible. It is worth noting that the Windows CPC has a number of advantages. In addition to more available applications, it is also a convenient familiar user interface.
CPC control is carried out using a touch screen and stylus. Some models are also equipped with a keyboard, but it is not always convenient. In addition, the PDA should have a flash memory slot, since for most tasks of their own memory the CCP may not be enough.
A pocket personal computer can also connect to the Internet network. Connection methods are as follows: cell phone, infrared port or Bluetooth, GSM card. The most convenient way can be called Wi-Fi connection to the access point using the built-in module.
If you want to equip your PDA with additional modules, functions, then this is also not a problem – spare parts for PDA are sold along with the devices themselves. The main thing is to know exactly the series, model and specifics of your pocket computer.
Among other things, the PDA is also a GPS navigation that, using satellites, will calculate your location and calculate the optimal route for movement in any city. GPS module can be immediately built-in, or to buy separately, while it will be inserted into a flash cards slot. In this case, when buying, pay attention to the presence of two slots for flash memory in the PDA.
There are many CPC models, many manufacturers who are very different both in price and in functionality. It is possible that for your needs it is not necessary to purchase a pocket computer, it is enough to choose the right spare parts for cell phones and equip your phone with everything you need.
