Where many PDAs exceed PCs is in their ability to get online wirelessly. Today’s PDAs offer a number of choices for connecting to the Internet, often without any other equipment needed.
The wireless PDA world is divided in two ways. The first is by operating system. The major choices are:
• PalmSource Inc.’s Palm OS (on handhelds built by palmOne Inc., Sony, Samsung, and others).
• Microsoft Corp.’s Pocket PC (used by Dell Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co., Toshiba Corp., and smaller companies).
• Research In Motion Ltd.’s BlackBerry (in equipment built by Research in Motion itself with other licensees coming).
• Symbian OS, a competing platform, is less popular so far, although a few Symbian-based products from companies (including Nokia) are available in the U.S.
