Is the new iphone 3G similar to a PDA?

Question

I am wishing to purchase a PDA for purposes of my job for which I would be using medical applications such as 5MCC etc and was just wanting to know if the new iphone would support such applications?

Answer 1

PDA means Personal Data Assistant.

the current iPhone/iPod Touch are PDAs.

Now because they are PDAs which use a different operating system than all the other PDAs out there, then no application that's already out that is supported by the iPhone.

But over 400 developers/companies are programming their application to the iPhone. Epocrates has, AOL has, SEGA, PopCap, Intuit, etc.

It won't be out until next month.

I suggest emailing the companies you like and asking them to port the application over to the iPhone.

Answer 2

At this point no. It only supports Windows Mobile and Palm devices.

Answer 3

sorry niiro but your answer does not really have to do with the question at hand. The other guy looks like he know his stuff or actually took the time to research. Plus some companies do not have the cash or the resources to make software for other platforms.
