Visit Our Sponsor Digital Lifestyles Reference Guide Your Hosts Michael Miller and Jake Ludington As we move closer to the Christmas season, gift-giving moves to the top of our to-do lists. This week we turn our attention to that most popular of portable gadgets, the PDA. For the uninitiated, this is one confusing product category. Do you need wireless connectivity — and if so, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi? What about a color screen? A mini-QWERTY keyboard? Built-in digital camera? GPS functionality? And how much speed and storage do you need? Of course, every feature you add forces you into some sort of price/size/weight compromise. The more features you add, the less portable your PDA becomes — and the more you pay, of course. Shopping for a PDA this Christmas is going to require a little bit of homework on your part. Fortunately, homework help is at hand with the latest addition to the reference guide, which walks you through the different PDA operating systems, features available today, and a list of the most popular models in both Palm OS and Pocket PC flavors.
