All crewmembers begin with a PDA, loaded with special tools and programs depending on what your starting assignment is. PDAs can be bought from CartyParty vending machines. Certain jobs may find their PDA more useful than others. Traitors generally acquire their gear with their PDA. Also contains a writing utensil based on your assignment.
After an ID card has been inserted, PDAs can be worn in the ID slot to free up Inventory space.
Basic Functions
- Notekeeper: Allows you to make text notes and save them. On an unlocked Syndicate PDA, this will instead bring up a list of available items to purchase.
- Messenger: Scan for other PDAs and send them text messages, set custom ringtones, or look at your past messages. If your PDA is in your belt, pocket, or lapel, you can see what incoming messages are in the chat window and directly reply without having to pull out the PDA. By default the PDA is set to Messaging On; turning it Off will not allow you to send or receive texts but will also prevent you from being the victim of a Detomatix missile.
- File Browser: Browse files in the PDAs internal drive or on the inserted cartridge. Job specific programs are loaded on the cartridge. Programs can also be deleted or moved about as memory permits.
- Atmospheric Analyzer: Shows the composition of gas in the area around you.
- Flashlight: Activates the PDA's module, typically a flashlight.
- Crisis Alert: Allows you to send an emergency call along with your current position to all medical, engineering, security, or janitorial PDAs.
- Supply Request: Order supplies on the go. Don't expect QMs to actually deliver them if there isn't a cargo pad, belt hell dock or MULE beacon nearby.
- Robustris: A program in the internal drive of all PDAs. A game coded while under the influence of space drugs. If you manage to beat it all the secrets of 2D SpaceMan game will be revealed.
- Space GPS: Shows you your own coordinates like a more limited version of the full featured Space GPS device.
PDA Scanners
Most PDAs have special scanners which allow them to act as a certain scanner you would normally use.
- The PDA of a Captain, HoS, RD, MD, Detective, Medical Doctor, Roboticist, Bartender, Engineer or Geneticist can be used as a Health Analyzer.
- The PDA of a HoP, RD, MD, Security Officer, Detective, Medical Doctor, Roboticist, Botanist, Bartender, Geneticist, or Scientist can be used as a Reagent Scanner, showing the composition of gases in a container or chemicals in a container/person.
- The PDA of a Captain, HoS, NTSC, Security Officer, Detective, or Inspector can be used as a Forensic Scanner.
- The PDA of a Chief Engineer or Miner can be used as a material analyzer.
- A HoP or Botanist's PDA can be used as a Plant Analyzer.
- The PDA of a Head of Security, Nanotrasen Security Consultant, Security Officer, Security Assistant, or Detective can be used to bring up someone's Secmate record, which, surprisingly, has no gadget equivalent, aside from using a Security Computer or Security Records machine.
Some PDAs are capable of switching between different types of scanners. Selecting the appropriate file from the cartridge will change the scanner.
PDA Modules
PDAs have modules which can be changed by using a screwdriver and a crowbar on it. Most PDAs start with a flashlight module.
Engineers start with a special T-Ray Scanner module in place of a flash-light module in their PDAs.
Security Personnel start with a special Security Alert module which sends an alert to other Security members that there is a crisis at their location.
High-power flashlight modules that provide much brighter light can be purchased from CartyParty vending machines. Golden ticket machines also offer unique modules that illuminate a larger area than high-power modules, with same intensity, and change color every time you activate it .
Cartridges
An asterisk (*) indicates that the cartridge is available for purchase from CartyParty vending machines. Some of them are only available if you hack the vendor.

Filehosting
If you have a copy of SpaceWire installed on your PDA, you can set it to send files to anyone who sends your PDA a specific message.
From the program's manual:
To host a file through this program: 1. Open the SpaceWire Semi-Automated Fileserver. 2. Scroll down and click Host a File. 3. Click on the file you want to host. Make sure you are licensed to distribute this file! 4. Enter a File Index String Hash (FISH). While it can be anything, try to keep it short, unique, and memorable! 5. Instruct others to send a message to this device containing only this FISH. Anything else will not work! To host a file through SpaceWire's SpaceMessenger Groupchat integration: 1. Open the PDA's File Browser. 2. Copy the file you want to host. 3. Back out of the File browser and open SpaceMessenger. 4. Open Groups and find the mailgroup you want to notify about your file 5. Click Send File. You will be prompted to enter a FISH, as well as a message to be inlcuded. 6. SpaceWire will send a message to everyone in this group with your message, the FISH, and instructions on how to use it.
