My feelings exactly. The divisions that these units are put into are really fairly arbitrary. When the "death of the PDA" is discussed, the PDA in question is so narrowly defined that it nearly renders the discussion pointless, given the overlap of features with other products. The sales of Palm-style PDAs may be flagging, but from this point on I doubt that we will lack for portable devices that can serve the multiple purposes of PIM functionality, ebook reading, game playing, media playing, etc, etc... So what's "dying"?
