Yeah, I don't think it would catch on in the mainstream. But no reason they couldn't put PDA apps on a tablet device for people who wanted to use them--just like you can use the palm software on a desktop, laptop, netbook etc. even if you don't own a Palm device to sync up with it.
It's just one of many functions I'd use in a small tablet device. But I agree smart phones will continue to dominate the PDA market. I'd probably have switched to one if phone data plans weren't so damn over-priced.
