Death of the PDA

Here's another one of those the "PDA is finished" articles. We hardly knew you, oh dear PDA.
Just to help everyone cope, death is part of the natural circle of life, and it's just that PDAs are getting squeezed out from two sides. Phones are getting smarter and taking on more of the functions of PDAs, while ultraportable laptops are getting cheaper and lighter, making them easier to carry around if you have work that needs to get done. HP, Palm and manufacturers like HTC are making souped up PDA/Phone combos now with all the features like WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPRS/high speed wireless. It will be okay, really. That said, it doesn't really matter, the retailers are replacing the PDA aisle with phones, MP3 players and portable video players, at least they have at our local BestBuy and Circuit City stores.
