Assignment Research: Handheld Devices

Define the term, what do we use it for?
A handheld device is a pocket-sized electronic device, typically having a screen using touch input, mini-keyboards, or buttons. Handheld devices can be used for communication, work and entertainment. Cellular phones and smart phones are examples of handheld devices used for communication, a PDA is an example of a handheld device that you can use for work, and Nintendo DS', PlayStation Portabes and iPods are examples of handheld devices used for entertainment purposes.

NEW DEVICE : PSP2 estimate of $399 - $499

OLD DEVICE : DS lite $100 - $175
