History of the PDA
|
Apple Computers,
which introduced the Newton MessagePad in 1993, was one of the first
companies to offer PDAs. Shortly thereafter, several other manufacturers
offered similar products. Today, several companies manufacture PDAs and
many other products are incorporating PDAs into their technology.
Example cell phones and hand held televisions.
PDAs are also called palmtops, hand-held computers, and pocket
computers. |
