The only handheld I want is the handheld PC
forget the PDA, and if I had a smartphone, sobeit. But, if OOO and Sony can fire up the handheld factor form for Personal Computers, I'd say forget the notebook, forget the desktop, and trash the PDA, . . keep your phone (your kids and 911 need you). Then just concern over a good KVM for when you want to plugin to a sitdown situation. I can't even find the PDA, nor cared for quite a few months (oh it'll be good to find out where it's been hiding, but it wasn't hiding much). Maybe if it had a phone, I could've called it up.

Form factors are small enough to take the PC to the pocket (of at least a large pocket) and compared squarely to a PDA, the PDA is dead to me. If I had more experience with the smartphones, I say they have form and a lot of function, but not a fight against notebooks.
