A personal digital assistant (PDA) is a multi-purpose mobile device which functions as a personal information manager. By 2007, PDAs have been mostly displaced by the widespread adoption of more highly capable smartphones, in particular those based on iOS and Android, and thus saw a rapid decline afterwards.[1][2]
A PDA has an electronic visual display. Most models also have audio capabilities, allowing usage as a portable media player, and also enabling many of them to be used as telephones. By the early 2000s, nearly all PDA models had the ability to access the Internet, intranets or extranets via Wi-Fi or Wireless WANs, and since that time PDAs generally include a web browser. Sometimes, instead of buttons, PDAs employ touchscreen technology.
