About PDA`s (Personal Desktop Application)

One of the main system that Amiga are trying to push there Amiga DE into, is the PDA market (Personal Digital Assistant). Many of the games and software made on the SDK so far, has been made and design to run on a low spec system. The specs that Gary Peake said that people should aim for when developing for a PDA powered Amiga DE device should be as follows:-

QVGA (240*320 Pixel)
16 Bit Color
16 Bit Stereo (requires Amiga SDK 1.1)
GameBoy-style two button interface and directional device
Should use less than 2Mb RAM

Software can be written to this specification in the Amiga SDK by creating a 16-bit 240*320 AVE window. This will provide a replica of the PDA environment. The list of software for the DE will show you which software has been made to run on a PDA. Series Zero, is the first collection of software developed for PDA use. Most of the games are simple puzzle games, perfect for the Japan and PDA devices.

I would also recommend buying Digital for information on PDA device. And of course you can find a lot of information on the AiG site.
