Best Practices for the Web

A Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) is a handheld device that combines computing, Internet, and networking features. Originally PDAs were used mainly for their contact management, calendar and to-do list functionality. As the technology has progressed, PDA capabilities have increased and today you can check email, browse the web or edit Microsoft Office documents from your PDA.
