My last two mobile phones (Motorola A920 and Motorola E1000) are
symbian-based hand-helds, and they act like a PDA - but I still can't do
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
digital assistants or hand-held computers.
As I've said, I think most modern mobile phones can be considered being
a PDA/hand-held computer.
