By Joseph Travis

Handheld PDAs have grown up since they first came out. While they first only had simplistic functions such as calendars and notepads; today they host entire operating systems and multi-purpose programs for you to use. And, several handheld PDA accessories have also come out to make them more functional. If you're like millions of Americans and others around the globe, you simply cannot function without your PDA (personal digital assistant). Equipping your PDA with the right handheld PDA accessories will make your PDA even more indispensable to you. The market for PDA accessories is bustling with options, which makes finding the accessories that are best for you easier than ever.

The latest PDAs have everything you could ever want, including basic functions like calculators and clocks up to more flashy functions like sending email and accessing the Internet. Handheld PDA accessories can make your PDA an even sizablegerset to you. Make your handheld PDA even more powerful and functional with these accessories:

1. PDA Wi-Fi card : If your PDA didn't come with wireless options, you can attach a Wi-Fi card that will enable you to surf the Internet and check your email from any wireless hot spot.

2. PDA Bluetooth: Connect your PDA with a Bluetooth compatible computer to trade files without using a cable for connection. Bluetooth will also allow you to utilize the ever-popular Bluetooth headset if your PDA doubles as a cell phone.

3. PDA Voice recorder: If your PDA wasn't made with any voice recorder, you can put this in. Keep in mind that for extensive recording, your PDA will require more memory to use this handheld PDA accessory.

4. PDA Docking station - Sync your computer and PDA with a docking station; most docking stations have added ports and speakers - so that you can listen to songs that you have saved on your PDA with your computer speakers.

5. PDA Mounting devices - Mount your handheld PDA on your windshield, dashboard, or cup holder in your car to keep within arms-reach at all times. This makes using the GPS function of your PDA even easier.

6. PDA Case - A protective case is often included as a new handheld PDA accessory when you purchase your unit. However, most of these cases are not top quality and will not offer the type of protection that you need for this investment. There are tons of fantastic cases on the market.It is not hard to find one that suits your personality. As an added suggestion, choose a PDA case that is waterproof to protect from water damage.

7. PDA Screen protector: This could be the most important handheld PDA accessory you can buy though it is often ignored. A damaged screen can put your PDA out of service for a while and be the root of expensive repairs. A screen protector can help you keep your PDA free from scratches and have the added bonus of reducing the glare on the screen.

8. PDA Battery charger: Battery chargers for home and car use are great taking to the office. If you happen to travel outside the country, make sure to choose one that can adapt to the plugs that they use in other countries. - 31403
