What could be better than a cute little handheld organizer disguised as a computer? I went into to Best Buy and found my way to the handheld PDA section. I looked at one that said, “Try Me” underneath it. I had no idea what I was looking at. I asked a sales person and he sounded similar to a computer himself, listing off all of the billions of features that each one of the small machines contains. I decided that I wasn’t smart enough, popular enough, or disorganized enough to own a handheld organizer…but then they got to be simpler. While they’re still not...

When buying a new PDA or any other handheld device, one of the first things you need to consider is its size and ergonomics. It is important to remember that mobile devices vary enormously in terms of size. Some are tiny enough to slip easily into a small pocket, while others can be almost as large as a notebook computer. Before you buy any device it is a good idea to try out different sizes, and decide which general "build" of device you are more comfortable with. Another important consideration is the keyboard and other input devices. If the PDA you are looking at has a built-in keyboard, you should try it out a bit before buying. Try typing out a couple of sentences and see how long it takes you...

The BlackBerry smartphone has its roots in a two-way messaging device called the "Interactive Pager" released in 1995 by Research In Motion, a small hardware designer based in Waterloo, Ontario.

The device even looked like a pager, except that it included a small keyboard for user input. The trademark "BlackBerry" first appeared in 1999 as the name for RIM's end-to-end wireless email solution for corporate customers. The term "Interactive Pager" was dropped and the pager was rebranded the "RIM 950". The form factor remained...

I can't make heads or tails of the "pocket internet cafes" moniker, but the 9.1-ounce device has been christened the iOpen-081A by its maker. Most of its specs are nothing to write home about (Win CE 5.0, ARM926 processor, 2GB NAND flash, 64MB SDRAM), but its integrated wi-fi, GPS, USB host/device ports, digital camera(still and video), and SD card slot aren't too...
