Abstract: In general, Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) devices are utilized for the purpose of reading, typing and playing games and etc. However, PDAs' small screen size is not often convenience for users when they use it for a long period. A new device is implemented with 17 inch screen size and a touchpad at the back of the display to overcome this problem. Two different user studies have been conducted with the implemented device in order to comparing the performance of using the new device and the iPad through both objective measures and subjective measures. The experimental results show that the new device and the iPad have no significant difference in playing game but the new device is significantly slower than the iPad in typing a paragraph.
