My last two mobile phones (Motorola A920 and Motorola E1000) are |
| 14 |
symbian-based hand-helds, and they act like a PDA - but I still can't do |
| 15 |
the same stuff with my PDA as I can with a PC. |

I suggested app-pda because of the metadata.xml description: |

The app-pda category contains software for working with personal |
| 20 |
digital assistants or hand-held computers. |

As I've said, I think most modern mobile phones can be considered being |
| 23 |
a PDA/hand-held computer. |
