PDAs anyone?

When you mention PDAs, people will associate it with PDAs+phone. That is the trend now. When you mention PDAs, people will generally remember HTC and not HP. Why? HTC is a better company in making PDAs, right? Wrong. One of the main reasons why people will remember HTC is because mobile phones killed PDAs. No...Not only did mobile phones killed PDAs, it also killed digital camera and mp3 players. I can explain this.

First of all, with PDAs, you can do your normal PIM but you can't make any calls. With a mobile phone, you can do most of the PIM which you can do it on a PDA but with added feature, you can make calls with it!

Secondly, with a digital camera, you can take nice pictures and store it inside a memory card. With mobile phones like LG and Samsung, they are out to produce mobile phones which are capable of taking pictures at 8MP! 8MP! That is no joke about it. It has certainly created an impact on the sales of digital camera because not only you can take nice pictures on a 8MP mobile phone like the Samsung Innov8, you can also make use of its mobile phone functions and also do PIM at the same time.

Thirdly, with mp3 players, all you can do is to listen to mp3s and or watch video clips on the player. With modern mobile phones, you can playback mp3s and watch mp4s besides using it as a normal mobile phone. You can also use it to take pictures and guide you using inbuild GPS technology. Well, what can I say about it?

Mobile phones like the good old Nokia E71, E90 and most of the N series, it is more like everything in one.
