Cell Phones and Personal Agendas (Personal Digital Assistants)
 

Cellular telephones and personal agendas (PDA’s) are now not only wireless telephones or electronic agendas; they have come closer to the idea of intelligent telephones (Smartphones), and current applications have truly transformed them into pocket computers.

Downloading and reproduction of video and music, digital cameras, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, management applications, mobile banking, downloading of web files, are only a few of the multiple possibilities currently offered by cellular telephones and PDA’s.
