Great article
This article expresses most of my feelings about the modern handheld market. Right now I find myself part of a small minority in that I own a treo 600 smartphone AND a tapwave zodiac. The reason for that being, one is a great phone, the other is a great entertainment device. Both are great pda's.
Non smartphone PDA's will definately evolve into jack of all trade entertainment devices, and I am not upgrading my zodiac until someone offers one with a hard drive and 3d graphics chip. But when they do, I will be more than happy to upgrade. I don't think it will be more than a couple years before this type of device is on the market.
Having a device for a small pc with email, documents, games, ebooks, movies, and MP3's, and a camera makes a lot of sense for people with mobile entertainment needs, and right now the zodiac does most of that pretty well. A hard drive and nvidia chip would seal the deal on this type of jack of all trades device. Add on keyboards are always a nice addition too.
Well written. You are one of the first to realize this new trend. Now for the PDA developers to figure it out before sony or nintendo does.
