PDAs better known as personal digital assistants or handheld computers, were originally designed as personal organizers, but went on to become more versatile over the years. They can also be called pocket computers or palmtop computers and have many uses like calculation, clock and calendar, computer games, accessing the Internet, sending and receiving E-mails, video recording, typewriting and word processing, address book, making and writing on spreadsheets, radio or stereo, and Global Positioning System (GPS).
The latest versions of PDAs possess color screens and audio capabilities and thus they can also be used as mobile phones (smartphones), web browsers, or portable media players at the same time. With many PDAs one can access the Internet, intranets or extranets via Wi-Fi, or Wireless Wide-Area Networks. The presence of a touch screen is one of the most significant PDA characteristics presently. On January 7, 1992 the term 'personal digital assistant' was coined by then Apple Computer CEO John Sculley at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada when he referred to the Apple Newton.
