Handhelds shopping checklist
Expansion
The smaller PDAs come with miniSD or microSD slots, though the latter is now more widespread
Do take note that some PDAs accept flash card capacities up to a certain storage limit,
Connectivity
Bluetooth and USB are pretty much standard features on most handhelds these days. With the proliferation of Wi-Fi hotspots, it may be worth considering handhelds with integrated wireless LAN for high-speed Web surfing
onboard GPS support which is great for those who travel frequently
Most of the current PDA-phones in the market offer 3G support, though some lower end models offer only up to GSM triband or quadband options
Camera
If you're expecting to print those images, choose one with a 1.3- to 2-megapixel camera
Synchronization
make sure it synchronizes with your PC or Mac.
Power
If possible, always select a PDA that uses removable Lithium cells. This way, you have the flexibility to purchase additional batteries when your current one is defective
