I searched the forum for PDA's and there was one thread mentioning it but not giving anymore information.

Personal Digital Assistant AKA PDA would be a handheld computer that is just like a normal computer but with a smaller screen and larger Rednet range. Rightclicking with the PDA in hand would turn it on and open the interface. Writing "off" or "shutdown" would shutdown the PDA. It could be inserted into the disk drive or a whole new USB peripheral. Then you can interact with it with a computer just like you would with a disk. It would have a built-in speaker so you can program it to maybe warn you about something. If the PDA is in your inventory and the PDA is on, you could still hear the sound or even if the PDA is in a container, you would still hear the sound.

I was just about to suggest this… I really hope it's implemented – If not someone should code it as a peripheral!

This has also been made into a peripheral. Leave well enough alone.

There are rumors about dan already working on it.
