Time to put your business in your pocket and step ahead of the competition

You may think of your hand held, if you have one, as a personal organiser, an electronic "filofax" that can help you manage your ever more busy daily life. But that would be largely missing the point. Better think of the new generation of PDAs (personal digital assistants) literally as Pocket PCs, as Microsoft so aptly calls them, because these little beauties pack more punch than your desk top did, only a matter of two or three years ago. Pocket PC will change the way business is done and the first in to capitalise on the new opportunities will be the businesses that gain competitive edge. Think of the power of the lap top, but shrunk down to a size that literally slips into your pocket. Think of it as a phone as well. Think of being able to call up critical business information from within your company's data archives, and being able to input new data as well, wherever you are, whenever you need to.

Andy Paterson, Technical Director at Information Systems says, "There are so many potential business applications for the new PDA, it beggars belief. And many can be realised with relative ease thanks to the development environment provided by .NET's new Compact Framework. It really is time to think what this can mean in terms of gaining business advantage for your company."
