PDAs are great gadgets for school. In one compact device, you can keep track of your class schedule and activities, organize the contact information of all your new friends, take notes, or play Solitaire during boring lectures (OK, we don't really advise this last one). But as a student, you're not exactly rolling in money. Don't worry, there are affordable options out there. These four PDAs all cost $250 or less and have the credits you need to get the job done. Read our reviews to see which one you should slip into your backpack.
