facility. PDA first appeared in
1986 with the launch of the Psion Organiser II. The first PDA is shaped like a handheld
computer equipped with a keyboard and a small screen. Coupled with basic features such as alarm,
clock, calendar, calculator, and telephone. It
could be concluded PDA is a merger between the mobile phone with PC. In 1993, Apple launched the Newton
MessagePad products with features that are more comprehensive than ever
before, such as additional digital notes, agendas, and others. Features of Newton latter is used as the standard for
PDA applications, including highly sensitive touch screen and an
external memory slot. However, in 1998,
Newton's Apple stopped production because of its too great, the price is

in RAM to the size of tens of megabytes, while the source of energy is
derived from the battery (formerly A3) refills. Besides, we can also use an adapter that plugs into an
AC wall outlet. Along
with the development of lifestyle, PDA position itself as a medium that
