How to Use the Itouch As a PDA
PDA is an acronym for personal digital assistant. It refers to a hand-held device that manages contacts, appointments and tasks. PDAs have been used in the workplace since around 1993 as a replacement for the traditional paper-and-pen method of managing day-to-day activities. The iPod Touch, also referred to as the iTouch, is a portable media player that has many of the same functions as a PDA. That is, the iTouch can easily manage contacts, appointments and other workplace-related tasks.
