| Things to Consider Before Purchasing a Handheld Device
|
|
There are many things to consider
when choosing a handheld device and no single device will be a perfect
fit for all users. But the beginning of any hardware search
should be a user needs analysis. Edu-Track Home School for the
Handhelds will run on the most basic $49 Palm handheld device, but
consider your other needs . Thousands of applications are
available for Handhelds, so consider how else you might be using your
handheld before making your purchase decision.
Where will the devices be
used?
Indoor and outdoor lighting can
affect the display on some devices, especially those with color.
How long will I be away from
a PC and battery charger?
Although the average battery life
of a handheld devices is significantly longer than a portable PC, this
is still a factor when choosing a device and an important consideration
for protecting your data. Long life lithium ion batteries replace
AAA batteries on some models, manufacturers estimate that these can
last up to one week. If you are planning to use the device away
from the charger for several days, we recommend a device with removable
media for data backup.
Will I need wireless internet
connections?
Mobile synchronization and
internet access are possible using many of the internet enabled
wireless handheld devices (both Palm & Pocket PC).
Will I synchronize away from
a PC?
Even if you will not need live
internet access on the handheld, they may wish to synchronize to a
network database without synchronizing to a PC first. Several
manufacturers produce ethernet cradles that connect directly to the
network or add on devices that work like an ethernet card and allow
wireless network synchronization at a network Access Point
Are the devices susceptible
to injury?
There are two ways to prevent
loss of data: 1) Removable backup media and 2) A durable device.
What is my budget?
Handheld pricing varies from
models designed for "student" use to those which can replace laptop
PCs. Prices range from as little as $79 for basic models to
hundreds of dollars.
How much memory do I need?
In general there is a trade-off
between memory and price. Devices start with about 32MB of
memory. Most manufacturers extend the device RAM with Compact
Flash media or other add-on storage memory media. It is always a
good idea to purchase a handheld device with expandable
memory.
