Ideas To Make That PDA A Real Personal Assistant
PDAs have revolutionized many road warriors' lives. They eliminate the need for bulky planners, allow access to e-mail on the go, and even double as a phone. Just the contacts and e-mail are enough to make a PDA feel like an essential companion for some, but we've gone in search of ways to make that piece of hardware act even more like a personal assistant.
Playing It Safe With Security
For most business travelers laptops and PDAs contain more sensitive personal and work information than the filing cabinets kept under lock and key at home and the office. The mere thought of this information getting into the wrong hands is enough to send cold shivers down anyone's back, yet many don't even take the simplest precautions.
Tech Tools To Make Going Away And Coming Home Easier
