Note for PDA Office
The school's student population is a good indicator of the PDA model best suited for use with Schoolmaster PDA Office. In general, a school with a large student population should consider purchasing a Palm PDA with a large amount of on-board (internal) memory (e.g., 64 MB). Small schools (e.g., less than 200 students) may find that a Zire Z22 or similar device will suffice.

Expansion Cards

Schoolmaster PDA software can take advantage of the SD memory card slot found on most Palm OS-powered PDAs. If an expansion card is needed (for off-loading student photos), a 64 MB or larger card is suggested.
