| Palm-size computers are the most popular handheld body style. In fact, may people consider "PDA" or "handheld" and "palm computer" to be synonymous. Smaller than a paperback but larger than a deck of cards, palm computers fit easily in the palm of your hand. The units are too small to include a keyboard, so you enter commands and data by pressing surface-mounted buttons or by tapping the display with a stylus. Most handhelds also let you "write" text and include some sort of handwriting recognition software; a few recognize spoken commands. |
