There are a lot of different things to consider when buying a PDA, for the average Joe this can be a jungle. Some aspectes of electronic gadgets appeal more to the affectioned side of a person, often things like design, size and age of the model.

Don't let some sales pitch mislead you into thinking you need more features than you are ready to pay for, its so common people do get caught up in the tech race with friends. Don't lose focus and end up paying for features not needed.

Even though there are brand new models released from manufacturers all the time, with more and more features all the time. We should really ask ourselves if this is something we going to use do we really want to pay for them.

Remember this; manufacturers are releasing model after model all the time, even if you feel you want the latest sleek gadget to show off with your friends, it will be old in a few months and you have small chances of running the manufacturers speed in the tech race all the time. That's why an older bestseller might just be better.

Usability is an important perspective to look at in every device. As the size of the gadgets decreases, so does the usability. One engineering challenge is getting a high level usability maintained while making the devices smaller and smaller.

So what I want to talk about here is the importance of size. The size of the device have such an impact on usability and is therefore one of the most important device/purpose matching aspect you will make when purchasing your PDA, whether it is an HP iPAQ or Palm will often not make as much of a difference.

The screen of the device is often quite unpleasant to use on a small device, when utilizing the PDA e.g to take notes. So if you are a person looking to purchase a handheld PC with taking notes in mind, think again before you run off to get the smallest and hottest smartphone on the market, a standalone PDA might just be what you need. HP iPAQ 211 is a very good standalone PDA, follow the link below to read a review.
