  1. PDA

    PDA is a song by American rock band Interpol. It was released as the first single from their debut studio album, Turn on the Bright Lights, in August 22, 2002. The music video for "PDA" was directed by Christopher Mills. Unlike the two singles that followed; "Obstacle 1" and "Say Hello to the Angels" / "NYC", "PDA" did not chart anywhere. The song was nominated for a MTV2 award in 2003. The song is one of the oldest songs by Interpol and appeared on many of their early demos and EPs such as the band's first demo tape, the Fukd ID #3 EP, the Precipitate EP and the Interpol EP.

    A PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) is a handheld computer or device designed to provide access to various computing features such as internet, emails, calendars, and office documents. It often includes additional functions like a camera, media player, GPS navigation, and mobile phone. This term was more commonly used in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and these devices have largely been replaced by smartphones. PDA can also refer to "Public Display of Affection," which means showing affection in a public setting through actions like hugging, kissing, or touching.

  1. PDA

    A personal digital assistant, also known as a palmtop computer, or personal data assistant, is a mobile device that functions as a personal information manager. PDAs are largely considered obsolete with the widespread adoption of smartphones. Nearly all current PDAs have the ability to connect to the Internet. A PDA has an electronic visual display, enabling it to include a web browser, all current models also have audio capabilities enabling use as a portable media player, and also enabling most of them to be used as mobile phones. Most PDAs can access the Internet, intranets or extranets via Wi-Fi or Wireless Wide Area Networks. Most PDAs employ touchscreen technology. The first PDA was released in 1984 by Psion, the Organizer II. Followed by Psion's Series 3, in 1991, which began to resemble the more familiar PDA style. It also had a full keyboard. The term PDA was first used on January 7, 1992 by Apple Computer CEO John Sculley at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, referring to the Apple Newton. In 1994, IBM introduced the first PDA with full mobile phone functionality, the IBM Simon, which can also be considered the first Smartphone. Then in 1996, Nokia introduced the a PDA with full mobile phone functionality, the 9000 Communicator, which became the world's best-selling PDA. The Communicator spawned a new category of PDAs: the "PDA phone", now called "smartphone". Another early entrant in this market was Palm, with a line of PDA products which began in March 1996.

  1. William Evanina:

    If you're planning on taking a mobile phone, laptop, PDA, or other electronic device with you - make no mistake - any data on those devices (especially your personally identifiable information) may be accessed by the Russian government or cyber criminals, corporate and government officials are most at risk, but don't assume you're too insignificant to be targeted.
