The microprocessor is the brain of the PDA and coordinates all of the PDA's functions according to programmed instructions. The Operating systemThe operating system contains the pre-programmed instructions that tell the microprocessor what to do. Memory A PDA doesn't have a hard drive. It stores basic programs (address book, calendar, memo pad and operating system) in a read-only memory (ROM) chip, which remains intact even when the machine shuts down. The data and any programs that are added later are stored in the device's RAM. This approach has several advantages over standard PCs. When the PDA is turned on , all the programs are instantly available. One does not have to wait for applications to load. When changes are made to a file, they're stored automatically, hence a Save command is not required. And when the device is turned off, the data is still safe, because the PDA continues to draw a small amount of power from the batteries. PDAs usually come with 2 MB minimum of memory. However, many application programs take up memory space, so more advanced models usually have more memory (5 to 32 MB). Also, Pocket PC takes more memory space so PDAs with this operating system usually have 16 or 32 MB. In some PDA models, the amount of memory is upgradeable. Batteries PDAs are powered by batteries. Some models use alkaline (AAA) batteries, while others use rechargeable batteries (lithium, nickel-cadmium or nickel-metal hydride). The battery life depends on what kind of PDA one has and what it is used for. LCD Display PDAs have some type of LCD display screen. Unlike the LCD screens for desktop or laptop computers, which are used solely as output devices, PDAs use their screens for output and input. The LCD screens of PDAs are smaller than laptop screens, but vary in size. Hand-held computers generally have larger screens than palm-sized computers. Input Device PDAs vary in how the mode of inputting data and commands. Hand-held computers typically use a miniature keyboard in combination with a touch screen. Palm-sized computers use a stylus and touch screen exclusively in combination with a handwriting recognition program .Eventually, most PDAs will incorporate voice recognition technology, where one speaks into a built-in microphone while software converts voice waves into data. Input/Output Devices Because PDAs are designed to work in tandem with a desktop or laptop, they need to work with the same information in both places. If an appointment is made on the desktop computer, it needs to be transferred to the PDA; likewise if a phone number is noted on the PDA, it should be uploaded to ones PC. Everything on the PDA has to be saved to a desktop computer in case the batteries go dead in the PDA. So, any PDA must be able to communicate with a PC. The communication between PDA and PC is referred to as data synchronization or syncing. This is typically done through a serial or USB port on the PDA.
There are hundreds of software packages for PDA. The most common operating systems for PDA's are Palm OS or Windows CE/Windows Mobile. There are many tools, games and other applications for each type of operating system.
Most new types of technology devices and digital media are USB drives and other removable, portable media devices. Media devices have gone small and smaller, such as external desk drives and thumb drives. Prices have also fallen over the years, so they are affordable for most people. However, devices with high security, such as needed for the US Army, may cost thousands.
It's like an ipad, but more complicated. You don't have a home button instead you have a touch screen button, its shaped as a house. there is also a backward button to go back to something and a volume button. You have play store which is like the app store. You can only get certain apps for tablets.
Hope this helps you :)
I would say that the majority would be definitely worth to buy the iPad. I actually own one myself, and from my perspective, I think that the iPad is an efficient, fast, and useful piece of technology that everyone should have the privilege to have.
I suggest www.hulu.com. It is completely free and they have a great library of shows and movies. On the paid side, I also have a netflix account that allows the subscribor to "watch instantly" a huge selection of movies, etc.
its not completely free its about the same price as net-flex and dont have as many movies as net-flex.
not really i would say. as for as i know, you can put music and book ETC, directly through wifi. if you won't to format it then youll need a computer to do that, other wise you don't need a computer.
You can get a Documents To Go 3.0, however not an actual word document.
A data storage memory area, and an input/output device such as a keyboard and a touchscreen or a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen on which symbols, text or icons are displayed and, into which signals can be input and detected thereby providing a two way communications capability by which information can be stored in an retrieved from memory that is part of the personal digital assistant computer. Personal digital assistants can be used to store, display, and/or manipulate various personal information.
The iPad is available in two sizes: the original, which has a 9.7" display, and the iPad mini, which has a 7.9" display. Although the larger model is available with a high resolution Retina display, both iPads have the same effective screen resolution. The Retina display simply doubles the pixel density to provide sharper text and images, but does not change the amount of area available on screen. There are other differences between the two models as well, such as the speed of the processor and the quality of the camera.The same software is available for both models, however due to some differences in processor speed and camera some apps may not work on both models.
Which iPad is right for a college student really comes down to personal preference. The iPad mini is much more compact and more comfortable for reading eBooks. However the larger screen and form factor might be preferable for those who are using the iPad in place of a laptop. Keyboard accessories are available for both models for those who prefer to feel the click of keys.
It's also worth mentioning that some college classes require specific software which may not be available for the iPad or mobile devices. It is important to check the class requirements.
Facebook poker requires flash you cannot at present play it on the iPad. There are a couple of other poker rooms that use Html5 instead of Flash that you can play poker with on the iPad.

It depends what kind of tablet you're using. I don't know for apple stuff but on android devices you can buy a usb adapter (or you even have a usb port). I guess then it should work!
The iPad 2 has a thickness of 0.34 inches, or 0.8636 centimeters.
Imagine that you have a 2 liter jar, and a 4 liter jar.
Obviously you going to be able to put more stuff in the 4 liter jar because it's bugger. In your case you have an iPod, 16GB will hold up to 3500 songs as for a 64GB iPod can hold up twice as much because it has twice the amount of space in GB or Gigabytes.
Hope this helped!
You can email me at ratsmart9@yahoo.com
It ranges from free to $13.99( that is probably the most expensive one there is or I ever saw)
Go to Settings and within settings there is Privacy. Go there and you will see an option to do a factory reset. This is on most Android tablets. If not,some older Android tablets have a small hole that you can poke a needle or thin object through that triggers the reset.
The Wi-Fi should be available on May 28th 2010 however the 3G model will be released mid-June.
The iPad Facebook app does not have emoticons, but you can add them by installing apps like Emoti HD. These programs work for posts and updates, but not for comments.
