A personal digital assistant (PDA) with a foldable memory card adapter has a PDA and a memory card adapter. The PDA is formed with a connecting slot in one edge of the PDA. The memory card adapter is connected to the PDA by a slide connector on an end a signal bus made of flexible material. When the card adapter is attached to the PDA, the slide connector is linked to the connecting port, whereby the memory card adapter can be folded to overlap the rear of the PDA. Thus the entire size of the PDA device is reduced and convenient to carry.
