If you have a PDA, software is readily available for you to download, including games, office applications, wireless technology, Internet gateways, and hundreds of other great programs. Best of all, many are available as free downloads.

If its games you like, you're really in luck. You can find most of the classic games to play on your handheld computer online at no charge or at a low cost. These games include chess, checkers, backgammon, hundreds of forms of solitaire, team card games like bridge, poker, and dozens of others. For low costs, you can find commercial games like Scrabble, Monopoly, or Nintendo series games.

For example, specialty software for medical and legal professionals, e-reader technology, Ipod-style music, voice technology, even the ability to turn your handheld computer into a cell phone or a camera. Your imagination is the only limit.
