| PDAs fall into two major categories: hand-held
computers and palm-sized computers.
The major differences between the two are size, display
and mode of data entry.
Compared to palm-sized computers, hand-held computers
tend to be larger and heavier. They have larger liquid
crystal displays (LCD) and use a miniature keyboard,
usually in combination with touch-screen technology,
for data entry.
Palm-sized computers are smaller and lighter. They
have smaller LCDs and rely on stylus / touch-screen
technology as well as handwriting recognition programs
for data entry. |
