Accessories for your PDA

Protection, data entry and connectivity are some of the features that can be improved by using PDA accessories.

It’s not the most exciting accessory but a protective filter for your PDA’s LCD, like this one for the O2 XDA, is among the most useful and cost-effective. The filter protects the screen from scratches and harmful sunlight and your eyes from ultraviolet rays. It also sharpens the image and improves colour quality.

If you need to enter a lot of data you might consider a Bluetooth keyboard like this model for the HP iPaq. The model is big enough for comfortable typing but can be easily folded and put away when not in use. There is a small stand where you can attach the PDA and Bluetooth means that there are no messy wires between the devices.

For connecting your PDA to a wifi network you might need to buy a separate wifi card like the SDIO WLan card which plugs into the SDIO slot and is compatible with most PDA’s with Pocket PC 2002/2003. Important features included low energy consumption, Wireless Active Sync for synchronizing data with your PC and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) for secure wireless connectivity.
