What
can you do with a handheld computer?
Back when 3Com debuted the first Palm Pilot, there wasn't a lot you
could do with it by today's standards -- track your phone
numbers, appointments and perhaps download some games or software
through your computer. These days however, personal digital assistants (PDAs)
are beginning to merge with other devices creating a whole new world of
possibilities.
When you cross a PDA whith a mobile phone, you get a computer
that can wirelessly interact with the office's network or web site from any
remote location. Think of the possibilities of this.
When you cross a PDA with a scanner, you can get an inexpensive
inventory management system which can link up to your office network (click
here to see an example of the
Bar Pilot we created).
There are many more examples including the fusion of GPS (Global
Positioning System) into a PDA. A delivery company would use this to track
its cargo and the drivers would have directions and instant
notifications for delivery and drop off points. They could even add a
scanner on the PDA to track individual items.
There are a slew of different types of PDAs out
there, just as there are many desktop computers to choose from.
The hardware is out there, and it's inexpensive.
Database Solutions has proven experience in programming
PDAs. We can integrate the technology provided on todays generation of PDAs
