Cell phones against PDAs Progress of high technology in its time provided a rapid growth in the sector of digital organizers, all kinds of handheld and pocket computers. But now, has come a new kind of favorite devices - multi-functional cell phones. Experts predict that in the future organizers and cellular phone services will merge into one hybrid type device.Palm, Hewlett - Packard, Handspring and other manufacturers of handheld computers (PDAs), the Verizon Coupon on which you can get on Cheapsally.com, have always tried to attract users with the ability of management schedules, meetings, personal contacts and addresses. But today, the functionality of digital organizers perfectly mastered cellular phones. Smart phones can not only make calls and maintain lists of meetings and contacts, but also connect to the Internet without wires. Besides, a lot of new phones has built-in digital camera. Todd Kort, an analyst from Gartner Corporation, believes that the emergence of hybrid cell phones with organizer functions leads to slower growth in the sector of traditional PDAs. In order not to give up the market to companies like Samsung and Nokia, manufacturers of digital organizers are also beginning to equip their products by means of voice and Internet access. But sales of these advanced organizers are growing slowly. Cheapsally.com Verizon Coupon presents an interesting statistics. According to Gartner, while the PDA market in terms of worldwide sales exceed the smart phones market. In 2009 the ratio was 12 million to 4 million, but soon it should be changed. The competition between two types of mobile devices deteriorated in the late 1990s. In 1996, Nokia introduced a new series of smart phones with cellular phone service of data transmission. Initially these devices were too bulky and expensive. But then their weight dropped from 400 g to 140 g, and the price - from $ 1000 to $ 500. On the other hand, the most common PDAs today are in the range of $ 100, although there are models and for $700. From consumer perspective, the choice of optimal device functions on the phone and the organizer is becoming increasingly difficult. Today, both classes of devices are equipped with the same software, in particular from Microsoft and Palm. As a result, some new smart phones like Samsung and Kyocera on the interface and set of applications are no different from PCs Palm, and one of the Samsung models have the same software for Microsoft Pocket PC, and handheld computers that HP and Toshiba. Analysts are predicting that in the end the two competing devices will be practically indistinguishable by their cellular phone service |
