Home » Handheld Electronics » Palmtops » Palmtop FunctionsPalmtops have a variety of functions. From storing personal information, to communication, to entertainment, the palmtop is the quintessential tool for a business traveler. Most palmtops are equipped to help organize a schedule, maintain a to-do list, and save contact information. The amount of information a palmtop can hold depends on how much memory it comes with. Most palmtops can store hundreds of contacts, numbers, email addresses and many other types of information. Some palmtops can even be used as memo pads since they are equipped to read your handwriting and store it in memory. Most palmtops come with a built-in calculator and some even have a clock with world time zones, which you can use for appointment alarms. Palmtops can also synchronize with your PC, so you can transfer information between the two and keep them both up to date.
Palmtops also have the ability to send and receive e-mail and connect to the Internet. Although most Palmtops don't come with modems, you can purchase a modem card or a wireless card. There are also adapters and other devices available that can snap onto some Palmtops for sending and receiving e-mail, like PocketMail.
With some palmtops, you can also read books, listen to music, view photos, play games, and read maps. Some units also have extra ports for a microphone or headphones, and many palmtops even come in flashy colors.
