Personal digital assistants (PDAs) are handheld computers, but have become much more versatile over the years. PDAs have many uses: calculation, use as a clock and calendar, accessing the Internet, sending and receiving E-mails, video recording, typewriting and word processing, use as an address book, making and writing on spreadsheets, scanning bar codes, use as a radio or stereo, playing computer games, recording survey responses, and Global Positioning System (GPS).Many PDAs can access the Internet, intranets or extranets via Wi-Fi, or Wireless Wide-Area Networks (WWANs).

PDAs are too small, takes too much work and are easy to lose. I think you should set it up for him so he wont be intimidated by that part of getting new technology.
Ask him which PDAs does his friends in the business have. You can gauge from his answer if one of them owns one that he wishes to also own. Take your clue from that.

get him a giftcard and let him select the options he needs. if you live near him offer to go with him and help him pick it out. PDAs are kind of a personal preference, esp. if he needs it for specific business interests. i would say to go somewhere professional and ask their opinion once you both have established what exactly it is he needs. you don't want to buy him an expensive electronic that he will never use.

You can enter stuff directly into the PDA. I LOVE my PDA but my brother calls it a $200 piece of paper!
But yes -- it is GREAT to organize your life -- until you LOSE it!
