I think a PDA to collect signatures is a good idea. A PDA that will tell someone that a postie is somewhere on his route is ok within reason, especially if it could be used to alert the office if any problem arises. A PDA that might enable someone to make office jokes about said postie needing to visit the public toilets on cold mornings would NOT be OK.
I expect your brain will be ok if you don't keep the PDA under your cap. Better not keep it in your trouser pocket either.

Every other week there is something or other in the newspapers about the dangers of using mobile phones .
The boffins still cant tell the public if Mobiles are safe or not ,so what chance have we got of dropping down dead with radation poisoning
Come on ,this must be a health & safety issue
In order to be trackable the device must contain a transmitter. All transmitters emit radiation.Have these devices been safety tested? what levels of radiation and at what frequency do they transmit?
What is the effect of prolonged use?
Since the effect of such transmitters in terms of cellular damage has proved to be cumulative,what safety guidelines are in place and do they conform to
eec standards?
Studies have shown that when different transmitters interact at focal points the strength of the radiation increases exponentialy.
Might be wise if you are a driver of a van fitted with a tracker ,in possession of a hand held device , not to stop to use your mobile under some high voltage lines near a police station next to a phone mast.
