Defining PDA and Smartphone
I always have problem distinguishing between PDAs and Smartphone. Following is a description that might clear this unclear situation.
"Gartner Dataquest defines a PDA as a data-centric handheld computer weighing less than 1 pound that is primarily designed for use with both hands.
Smartphones on the other hand offer all the attributes of a PDA, except that smartphones are voice-centric with data access as a secondary capability, and are designed for primarily one-handed operation."
