Whether you’re at work, at home, or on the go, you’ll quickly understand why handhelds are also called personal digital assistants (PDAs). Like a good personal assistant, your handheld helps you keep track of your schedule, your business and personal contacts, and your to-do list.

But more than just helping you get organized, your handheld helps you stay productive by letting you carry and access important files, folders, and documents. It also helps you stay connected by offering wireless access to email, text messages, and the web. And when you just want to relax and have fun, use your handheld to view digital photos and videos, listen to music, play games, and more.
