My Life in my pocket

Though I consider myself a technophile, there are times when I feel left out. To gear myself with the latest, one of the gizmos that took my fancy was a PDA. There are so many brands in the market and a little bit of research had me even more confused. Each brand was vying for attention with their uniqueness and I had to decide what worked for me best.

There were intriguing questions that went unanswered. I had drawn myself a checklist and any brand of PDA I chose should support i-flapp Apps-D. This meant I had to choose from the fancy iPhone, O2 or a Blackberry.

In my study to buy the best PDA, I realized I am on the move and using a laptop is drudgery. I discovered that a majority of my work can be done on a PDA. So a PDA that has a sizeable amount of storage was a main criterion. One aspect I was clear about is the PDA I choose should have a minimum storage of 128 MB space for me to get the optimum Apps-D experience. Earlier I was a satisfied soul with the i-flapp Apps-D loaded on a top-tier USB external hard drive or a USB Flash drive on which I carried my work but now I was getting choosy.

Further I realized that working on the PDA while in the office would be ridiculous. I would rather have my PDA connected to any computer through a USB 2.0 port where I should be able to work. But then that was just one of my concerns. Right now what was picking my brains was with my i-flapp Apps-D loaded, would I be able to work on my PDA using the popular OS like Windows 2000/ XP Home and Professional/2000 & 2003 server Operating Systems or even Window Vista? I needed to figure this one out and on doing a little homework realized the PDA I chose will totally be dependant on the application and data installed.

Researching more, I was convinced that a PDA is the best choice as one of the compelling reasons being the PDA will be a personal instrument. All sensitive information I carry remains securely tucked in my i-flapp Apps-D on my PDA. The fascinating thing was I could carry my whole information on my PDA and this meant being in touch with business anytime, anywhere and anyplace. Even if I do plug my PDA on to any computer, there was no fear of leaving my classified information around, as it would not cache any information in the host's browser history.

So here I was convinced about buying a PDA and loading the i-flapp Apps-D. That sure would be a winning combination and I knew that meant working even harder and staying connected to the world all day. But the debate still continues. Would it be an iPhone, O2 or a Blackberry. Any suggestions?
