What is the difference between PDA/ Smart Phone?

What is the difference between a smartphone, a PDA with phone function, and a Pocket PC with phone function?

  • Answer:

    Smartphone = Phone, Keyboard, No Screen input such as touch and Stylus, and No Pocket Office Applications such as Word, Excel, etc...( you can view them, but not create or edit them). PDA with Phone Function/Pocket PC Phone = Phone, Sometimes with a Keyboard, and Screen input, and you have Pocket Office Applications for creation, editiing, and viewing). PDA pretty much is a full blown Pocket PC without the phone. Good luck...

The difference lies mostly with the available functions and their design: - A smartphone usually looks like a regular phone (flip phone, candy bar or candy bar with a small QWERTY keyboard), and most smartphones do not come with a touch-screen. Also, smartphones might have screens smaller than PDAs'. - A PDA with phone function (or a Pocket PC with phone function) has a regular palmtop design (often big and/or bulky) and has a touch-screen - they are simply regular PDAs with an onboard phone. In my opinion... If you want a "supercharged phone", you should look into smartphones. If you want a true "mobile office" - or the closest thing to a notebook compter - then you should look into PDAs (with or without phone functions).
