Unlike the first PDA, the newer models of this genre are empowered with colour screen and audio capabilities. This enables the PDAs to assume a 3fold personality, such as that of a smartphone web browser and portable media player. Many PDAs are such a make that they can access the internet/ extranet/ intranet through the Wi-Fi or wireless Wide Area Network (WWANs).

One of the most significant feature of a PDA is the existence of a touch screen. Other typical features of a PDA includes memory card slot for data storage and IrDA port for connectivity. The newer PDAs also comes with a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth power.
