Uses for the PDA
Access to the abundant information that is stored on your PDA can be done anywhere and at any time. Global Positioning Systems are offered on many PDAs and gives you realtime automobile navigation. This is becoming standard on new cars and many of them have a display of traffic condition also along with roadside mobile radar guns and dynamic routing. TomTom, iGo and Garmin are the popular software in America and Europe as they show the condition of the roads in 2D and #d environments. Also known as enterprise digital assistants (EDAs) for mobile data applications, the government organizations and businesses have relied upon rugged PDAs. Some of the typical applications on these are: package delivery, route accounting, supply chain management in warehouses, medical treatment and record keeping in hospitals and parking enforcement. PDAs have shown to help diagnosis and drug selection in the medical field. Studies have proved that patients using them recode symptoms as this improves the effectiveness of communication with hospitals and at follow-up appointments. To cater to the demand from the medical profession, a range of resources have been developed. Drug databases, treatment information and important news can translate medical journals into readable formats.
