Entry level devices may also be referred to as low-end devices. Theses
product are not as advanced technically as other products, but that may
be precisely the reason they are the right fit of your use. Often, entry
level devices are great for use as a digital planner. While they can
perform more advanced functions (in most cases), they may have limited
expandability and frequently will not include wireless connectivity
features. Entry level devices often have a low price tag, ranging from
$100 to $250.
A Moderate Use PDA may also be referred to as an upgrade device or a
mid-range device. These products are not the top of the line but or not
an entry level device. They are right in the middle of the spectrum is
all senses. A user that knows they will want more than just a planner
out of their device, but are not exactly sure how else they will use
there device may find the moderate use PDA just right. Also, users that
will use a device more often than just for a planner but do not plan to
have the device takeover their life may find these devices just right.
Frequently Moderate Use PDA?s have a moderate amount of memory, a
moderate speed processor, and some wireless options. Moderate User PDA?s
are usually priced between $300 and $450.
For the gadget lover, the geek, or the power user, a high-end PDA will
be the top of the line device for getting just about every feature
possible and a real top of the line product. High-End PDA?s include all
the features of the entry level and moderate use devices, but also
feature faster processors, more memory, more wireless, and additional
more unconventional features like biometrics and unconventional styles.
Often, a high-end device is right for a user that wants to use more
multimedia features of a PDA including graphics, audio, and video.
High-end devices often have greater connectivity. This range of product
starts at $500 (and usually maxes out at about $700).
The Connected Professional category often ties in with the High-End
category as these products are often High-End products but all include
connectivity to cellular networks and double as a phone. Connected
Professional devices are a PDA first and a Phone second. They are use a
touch screen and likely do not have a number pad like a conventional
phone. Users that need constant access to the internet from anywhere
and/or want their phone rolled into their PDA are likely considered
Connected Professionals. Unlike PDA devices, these products are most
often purchased through a cellular phone company. In the United States
this means that some products will not work or be available for some
networks and this category of devices is broken down by cellular
technology. Connected Professional devices usually start at $400 (and
usually max out at just under $1000).
Smartphone devices may be considered cell phones running Microsoft?s
Windows Mobile operating system. Smartphone devices are phones first and
PDA?s second, and will often be compared with conventional cell phones.
Smartphones do not have touch screens. Currently there are no PalmSource
Palm OS based products that do not have touch screens hence this
category is solely reserved for Windows Mobile devices. Smartphone
devices include personal management features like a PDA, but they lack
strong support for data entry and thus are primarily phone devices.
Smartphone devices support internet connectivity but to a smaller degree
than Connected Professional devices because of screen size and
navigation. Unlike PDA devices, these products are most often purchased
through a cellular phone company. In the United States this means that
some products will not work (or be available) on some networks and this
category of devices is broken down by cellular technology supported.
Smartphone devices can be free when purchased with a cellular contract,
but can cost as much (or more than) $500.
