Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Think about what you want to spend on it. Expect to pay at least $150.00 for one that displays pictures. One of the least expensive models that has picture capability is the Tungsten E2.
Step2
Think about how you'll use it. Do you really need one that takes pictures or play MP3s?
Step3
Make sure that it has enough memory. You need at least 32 MB of ram and a 200MHz processor to display pictures. Pictures may display on PDA models with less memory and processor speed but the memory will fill up quickly. Plus, its processor will get bogged down easily.
Step4
Determine what software it comes with. Instructions will be included.
Step5
Check for the compatibly of the device. Palm PDA’s are typically used for Apple computers. Some newer models are compatible with any computer. It's important to check.
