Handheld PDA Accessories Make Them More FUN!

Originally designed as a simple way to organize one's life, the PDA has become a much different animal since its inception. In fact, most PDAs are more like miniature computers with their built in processors, operating systems and memory. If you're like millions of Americans and others around the globe, you simply cannot function without your PDA (personal digital assistant). Equipping your PDA with the right handheld PDA accessories will make your PDA even more indispensable to you. The market for PDA accessories is ripe with options, which makes finding the accessories that are most useful for you a breeze.

Accessorizing Your Handheld PDA

The latest PDAs have all the bells and whistles, including basic functions like calculators and clocks up to more complex applications like sending email and accessing the Internet. Handheld PDA accessories can make your PDA an even bigger asset to you. Make your handheld PDA even more powerful and functional with these accessories:

• Wi-Fi card. If your PDA wasn't built with wireless connectivity, you can add a Wi-Fi card that will enable you to surf the Internet and check your email from any wireless hot spot.

• Bluetooth. Sync your PDA with a Bluetooth computer to exchange data without using a cable for connection. Bluetooth will also allow you to use the ever-popular Bluetooth headset if your PDA doubles as a cell phone.

• Voice recorder. If your PDA wasn't shipped with a voice recorder, you can add this in. Keep in mind that for extensive recording, your PDA may require more memory to use this handheld PDA accessory.

• Docking station. Sync your computer and PDA with a docking station; many docking stations have added ports and speakers - so that you can listen to songs that you have saved on your PDA with your computer speakers.

• Mounting devices. Mount your handheld PDA on your windshield, dashboard, or cup holder in your car to keep within arms-reach at all times. This makes using the GPS function of your PDA even easier.

• Case. A protective case is usually included as a new handheld PDA accessory when you purchase your unit. However, most of these cases are not top quality and may not offer the type of protection that you need for this investment. There are tons of great cases on the market - finding one that suits your taste is quite easy. As an added suggestion, choose a PDA case that is waterproof to protect your unit from rain.

• Screen protector. Perhaps the most important but most often ignored handheld PDA accessory is the screen protector. A damaged screen can put your PDA out of service for awhile and cause expensive repairs. Screen protectors help you keep your PDA free from scratches and have the added bonus of reducing the glare on the screen.

• Battery charger. Car adapters and battery chargers for the PDA that allow for quick charging on the go are great for traveling or taking with you to the office. If you travel internationally, be sure to choose one that can adapt to the plugs that you will find overseas.

There are lots and lots of handheld pda accessories that can make mobile computing more fun. Come check us out and see!
