Choosing a PDA for business use is a chore filled with promises, guarantees, evolving equipment, and changing features; finding the right PDA for your needs is not always as clear-cut as it may first appear. Every service provider offers the ‘perfect package’ if you believe the promises. Nevertheless, comparing the various features of today's most popular business PDAs will assist you by showing you what you get for your.

The first bit of knowledge for all those business PDA beginners is that there are four types of packages or ‘bundles’ available with the purchase of a PDA: the PDA bundle, the PDA and GPS bundle, the PDA and phone bundle, and finally, the PDA with GPS and phone bundle. In addition, there are five leading manufacturers of PDAs: HP, HTC, Palm, Acer, and Dell. Each bundle and each manufacturer offers features unique to that company or PDA. Which one is right for your needs? The answer will depend on what you need, how much you are willing to invest, and which company you trust.

The HP iPaq hx2490 FA675B is a popular business PDA offered by the highly popular Hewlett Packard. With an Intel 520 MHz process, and 128MB ROM and 64MB RAM allowing for up to 80MB of available memory, this nicely features PDA is perfect for the mobile office. Embedded Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities sweeten the package, and offering both USB and serial ports means easy transition of information from PDA to desktop computer. After all, the ease of use is an important consideration when purchasing a PDA.

The memory types used for storing portal information is SDIO/MMC/SD, and Compact Flash 1 Type 2 meaning the mobile business person has more capabilities instead of the proprietary memory found with other models of PDAs. The touch screen is full, brilliant colour with a LED backlight allowing for over 65,000 colours. With the  HP iPaq hx2490 FA675B, the business user has found an excellent business PDA and at around £230, this PDA will fit nicely into any professional budget.

Another widely popular PDA for the business professional is the HTC TyTN PDA Phone. With 400MHz, 128MB ROM, and 64MB RAM, this stylish PDA offers a phone and so much more. This popular PDA has both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi compatibilities as well as having a mini-USB synchronization for seamless interfacing while staying connected when it is most important. In addition, the microSD expansion slot means more opportunities and options for you.

The QWERTY style keypad perfectly compliments the LCD colour touch display. Of course, with a powerful 2-megapixels colour camera, the business person will find this  HTC TyTN PDA Phone travels easily offering perfect access to all those important business files and contact. With an approximate value of £350, this PDA has become the favourite of those business professionals demanding the best in a PDA device.

Of course, some frugal business people want an affordable PDA with all the capabilities of a higher priced PDA, and for those business people, the Palm Tungsten TX is a great, affordable, entry level business PDA. With an Intel 312MHz processor and 128MB RAM, this entry level PDA offers a reliable, affordable solution for business people. With Bluetooth and Wi-Fi compatibilities, this PDA allows for quick interfacing to a business network or desktop computer. Of course, the hefty 65K colour display offers crystal clear images. At a value starting at only £150, the  Palm Tungsten TX is a great entry level PDA for the business professional.

Which PDA is right for you? All three PDAs mentioned are manufactured by companies trusted by business professionals. Do you need an affordable price? Are you wanting a top-of-the-line PDA regardless of price? Do you trust HP, Palm, or HTC more? How you answer these few questions will help you decide which PDA is perfect for your lifestyle and budget. In addition, you may find you want a more stylish PDA. Remember, when choosing a PDA for your business needs, you are the boss. If one company does not offer what you are looking for, there is one out there perfect for you – keep looking!
