The iPhone and iPod are specific types
of Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) that run the iPhone operating
system. A PDA is a handheld, multifunction mobile device equipped
with computing and information storage and retrieval competence.
Traditionally, PDAs were designed as an
electronic personal organizer that stored addresses, appointments and
task lists. Today, PDAs use wireless
networks to access web content remotely; send/ receive email
and some, like the iPhone, are known as Smart phones because they
function as cellular phones.

familiarize yourself with some basic features found on your iPhone
or iPod Touch. Complete the scavenger hunt by finding the
features listed in the column on the left, on your particular device.
