I was having the same thoughts this morning, sunshine. Weird.
When I had my Handera, I dabbled online with it using a Palm Modem...worked semi-okay for email, sucked for anything web-related...but might be REALLY cool for icq/irc, etc...where the window is small anyway.
I've just signed up for the T-Mobile wireless service and hope to spend some happy moments with laptop at Starbucks...so not sure that I would entertain doing the same functions wirelessly with a PDA...mebbe a big Sony, but even still...kinda limited. Bluetooth is even more limiting, although that might change. Be nice to turn on the coffee pot in the morning from my easy chair with my Clie! Nonetheless, I wouldn't buy a "next" PDA that wasn't connectable in some way...wireless...bluetooth...something. If for no other reason than to be "in place" for the next generation of goodies/services.
My next PDA is crying out to be the three Fs:
Faster,
Fatter (storage) and
Free-er ($$$)! Simple requests that i'm sure Sony will butcher in some way or another, but do so in a way I can't resist, and I'll be forced to accept their ROM-based browser that opens AllThingsSony.com when I turn the unit on...
