Palms, PocketPCs, iphones and Blackberries

There are four main types of handheld PDA's and many different models of each, making the purchase decision quite complicated. The decision really boils down to which handheld you want to go with-this choice will define all your other choices with respect to hardware, software, and peripherals. Most are compatible with all three, but not all.

With the emergence of all-in-one devices has made the selection of which PDA to purchase a challenge. These devices feature the ability to use email, surf the web, be a cell phone and obviously contain palm software. The Blackberry vs iphone has taken on a competition for consumer dollars, similarly to Mac vs PC. Most software apps are available on both platforms, but if you have important software that you must be able to use, check first before you buy.
