Everything about Personal digital assistant

Multi-purpose mobile device

A personal digital assistant (PDA) is a multi-purpose mobile device which functioned as a personal information manager. Following a boom in the 1990s and 2000s, PDAs were mostly displaced in the early 2010s by the widespread adoption of smartphones and tablet computers. In particular, smartphones based on iOS and Android took their place, causing a rapid decline in PDA usage. Wikipedia →
