One thing we can always count on in the field of technology is change. Everyday new technology is developed, and current technology is being updated.

Our training department at OCI will soon be issuing cellular phones and portable/handheld PDA's to each of their employees. You are being asked to conduct research on one of the two products, comparing and contrasting at least three different makes and models, and then make a recommendation as to what should be purchased. Take into consideration price, existing features, as well as upgrades that will be available in the future.

To receive full credit for this assignment, complete the following:

1. Choose one of the following technologies to compare/contrast: Cellular Telephone Portable/Handheld Device

2. Using the following websites, gather information to support your purchase recommendation.

How Stuff Works - PDA's

PC World

Tom's Hardware

Wireless Technology Advisor - Overview of Wireless Technology

Note: You may use other websites for your research, as long as you include the link where the information was obtained.

3. It is your job to select and evaluate at least three different but similar technology products (for example either 3 different smart phones or 3 different tablets). You will need to find out what each of the three products can do, describe how each product will help employees do their jobs better, and the price of each product. Following your research, you will present your findings on all three products.

4. Your presentation to the Training Department Manager should be formatted as a slideshow in PowerPoint. Document all three products you compared in a creative, yet informative manner. Include images of the items. Be sure to also use a slide design and put transitions between each slide.
