Wouldn't the fact that the Pharos has a GPS mean it's graduated from being a PDA only into being a multi-purpose device?

But if there's still Pocket PCs available there are indeed still PDAs. Unless you enter into a debate about what exactly a PDA is, since I doubt that today's PDAs are as limited in their features as the original PDAs were.

Although, I'd argue that by its very nature the PDA can evolve quite a bit and still be a PDA. I mean, an argument could be made that an iPod Touch is really just a PDA with MP3 playing capabilities.

Still curious about your thought regarding word processors, car radios, cell phones and videogame consoles.
