If a person has trouble keep up with their belongings a PDA might be great to use if you remembered to use it, and remembered to keep track of it. It is not going to help you if you spend hundreds of dollars on a PDA and lose it.
One way to practice before you drop hundreds of dollars on a PDA is try to keep track of a small spiral pad. Think of it as a PDA in training. If you can write down your schedules, a phone list, to do lists, and any other things you want the PDA to do for you, AND you can keep track of it for at least a month without losing it, THEN you are well on your way to training yourself not to lose a real PDA. You are also training yourself to use the PDA to keep track of things, instead of carrying it around to look smart.
When you chose your PDA make sure it has enough memory to do all the things you need it to do. It gets very frustration on any type of memory machine to have to wait for it to process the request because there is not enough working memory. If you have a lot of contacts to keep - names and addresses - you need to be sure that there are ways to back those up in case your machine. Also -decide if you want the PDA to have add-on capabilities. I gave a small PDA to my daughter because I could not add programs to it. It was a deal breaker for me.
Last month we looked at staying ahead of the technology curve as far as possible. I cannot stress this enough. Technology is moving so fast. Who knows what is being developed now? It seems like all the new software needs more memory both storage and working memory (RAM). Get the most you can afford so it's not obsolete within a year. It's very frustrating to try to run new programs on a machine that can't do it.
