The Organizer

The smaller and favourable alternative to a laptop is an organizer. The term organizer refers to a computerized daily planner which was originally only availible in loose-leaf form. It is also known as a Filofax.

These days it is a PDA (personal digital assistant), a portable “computer” which is comparible in size with a mobile phone. Its main function is to serve as a personal task manager, address book and calendar.

Deadlines, duties, and numerous tasks are all made manageable through the help of the PDA!

It is the ideal gift for people working dynamic jobs, enabling them full use of their hard earned leisure time.

Most of the organizers have a pressure-sensitive display (touchscreen) which are finger or pen activated. In addition to task management, the organizer is able to send e-mails and offers a large number of programs for word processing and spreadsheet analysis.

Via cable or wireless interfaces the device can be used at any time through a computer or laptop at home.
E-mails, addresses and appointments can be easily accessed at home. Basic functions of this device include a calculator, dictaphone, as well as games and music programs.

Through extra capacity all functions can be upgraded. In connection with a wireless-lan your organizer can be used as an IP-phone which allows you to phone via the computer network.

Some devices have integrated GPS and can be used as a navigation system. The easy mobility of this device means one can use it anywhere, even while cycling or hiking.

Therefore this “little friend” is a pretty good all-rounder and in any case, it will soon be very useful for its owner.
