palmari

English translation: PDA

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Italian term or phrase:palmare
English translation:PDA
Entered by: Francesca Siotto

Italian to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology) / IT
Italian term or phrase: palmari
I have the feeling this has been asked before, but didn't find any references when I searched the glossaries:
Is there a correct translation for this? The one I have seen used most often in the IT press is PDA, I don't want to call it a palm as that's a trademark (even if they did steal it from basic human anatomy), other possibilities like palmtop sound a bit naff.
Anyhting better than PDA?
