Do you really consider an iPod to be a PDA? To me, the primary purpose of a PDA is to manage such things as calendar, contacts, tasks, etc, and although the iPod can do those things it's not at all good at it. My Windows "Smartphone" is a vastly better PDA than my iPod.

I'd consider the iPod Touch to be a rather poor attempt to compete in the rapidly growing "personal media player" market, in which the leading player is Archos, and I think, to be honest, that they've made rather a mess of it in not having a hard-disk based device.

For now, I'll stick with three separate devices: Smartphone as a PDA, Archos 605 as a PMP, and 80GB iPod for music. Each is great at what it does.

I'd rate this as a "must try harder" if it's supposed to be a serious attempt to break into the PMP market and challenge Archos.
