I think the PDA is in a rapid evolutionary cycle right now and manufacturers do not know which way to jump. I see devices with PDA functionality splitting along several different paths:

1. PDA's as we know them now, but the features and pricepoints will change.

2. Smartphones.

3. Personal media players/PDA combos. (eg. mp3 or video players with PDA functions built in or dedicated ebookreaders that also have PDA functions)

4. Gaming PDA's (eg. Tapwave)

There may also be a market for devices that also do these things without PDA functionality, but I think the concept of pda sized minicomputers and OS's are here to stay.
