For juggling those busy campus appointments, many students turn to digital assistants. Organizers range from a simple scheduler/address book to a "mini- computer" and are great for keeping up with project due dates, exam dates -- even personal dates! Personal digital assistants, the "mini-computers" of digital organizers, are PC-compatible and can be expanded with software applications, allowing users to play games and send e-mail. Digital organizers start at $14.99. Circuit City features 19 PDAs ranging in price from $99.99 to $799.99.

FRANKFURT, Germany, November 29/PRNewswire/ -- Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) today launched the first-ever personal digital assistant (PDA) to operate on TETRA (TErrestrial Trunked RAdio) networks. The new, robust PDA delivers public safety users pocket-sized access to essential two-way data applications whilst on the move. The PDA offers the same value of Motorola's TETRA hand-portable radios: Always On, Trusted, Reliable and Secure.

PDAs were designed to work with the personal computer. But the uses are expanding by the day and now have many opportunities. Some PDAs accept data from a keyboard and most have a graffiti board where the user writes with a stylus on the PDA and it interprets it onto the screen. In the not-so-distanl future, PDAs will be able to recognize and translate verbal commands (Jenkins, 2002).
