  The Perfect PDA recipe PDA prices and the innovation in bringing out newer models has been falling rapidly with the rise of laptop markets and introduction of tablet PCs. However, some companies are still working hard to recapture the market share, that they have lost out to other digital devices. urlLink Dana Blankenhorn has a wishlist for a perfect PDA: # A keyboard as big as I can make it.
You can do that with infrared, so I can pound on any surface and still type. # A real voice interface. If I can train it to my handwriting, which is abysmal, I should be able to train it to my voice. # The ability to transcribe recorded notes. # An integrated camera, so I can snap the picture, do the interview, and get both words-and-pictures for editing when I want them.
# Make that a video camera. # Tighter integration with all kinds of PCs, especially laptops. # Integrated cell phones standard. # Cognitive radio that will automatically use 802.11 or cell systems, whatever it finds. I put this in my pocket, I take my pictures and short videos, I do my interviews, it transcribes my notes, and I can then use an infrared keyboard to turn that into a package I can deliver through a blog.
