Comment By no means do I claim to be on the cutting edge of high tech, as I'm a slow learner and 58 years old. That being said, I think that there is a divergence between "personal data manager" and the somewhat outdated term "personal data assistant". I think the first term applies mostly to password management software, while the second term used to be a Palm term for the hardware/software combination that we now call a "smart phone". By the way, I'm editing on a smart phone now. If other editors agree with my analysis, then I recommend Keep, with a recommendation to improve and expand the current article. I await the thoughts of other editors. Cullen328 (talk) 02:43, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment are you talking about a personal information manager (PIM) ? 65.95.14.96 (talk) 03:57, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A hatnote can be added to PDM since nearly all modern usage of PDM actually refers to the PDA. Assuming what you said is true, is it notable enough? Marcus Qwertyus 03:14, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep These are not the same as a smart phone any more than a sailboat is the same as a speedboat. These things were around for at least a decade. Stop trying to erase history. --MoonLichen (talk) 03:11, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment do you mean the electronic date book/calculator/alarmclocks, like the Casio BOSS? Or PIM software like SideKick? 65.93.15.125 (talk) 06:10, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
