Handheld computer is a portable computer which is small and can be held in hand. At present products like PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) and Smart phones are so advanced and versatile with the fast development of modern technology that there is hardly any distinction among them.
They are very convenient to carry with, and have computer-like functions. You can use them to calculate, browse online, send and receive E-mails, play music, typewrite, record video and audio, send fax, play games, or even make phone calls.
Some of them even use the voice recognition technology by voice input. The smart phones are usually mobile-phone-like and have more advanced functions than cell phones. These devices can enhance the classroom activity and expand the learning time and space.
