My recurring PDA upgrade nightmare
Tech Update - March 6, 2003

David Berlind relates in this article that he has been using PDAs for 10 years and he states that he is getting very tired of the torturous and expensive upgrade path that’s reminiscent of the PC’s early days.

He states that just about any PC or notebook bought today will have expansion slots. Then, much of the hardware and software you already own can be re-used. His major point is that the same cannot be said of (PDAs).

The author goes on to say that vendors force us to endure unnecessary expense
along the upgrade path. He gave many examples of how he has been unable to upgrade PDAs without having to spend a lot of money to increase the power of a PDA.
