I already have a PalmV PDA with PalmOS 3.5. I never use it. I practically have absolutely no need for an organizer. Yet, I wanna buy a new one. That geek gene in me (that my mother unsuccessfully tried to kill over the years) what really wants is a "truly mobile PC" that just isn't a laptop. So, for the last few days I was shopping around the Internet for a new PDA (preferably a PocketPC this time) that would fit the kind of thing I am looking for. I was... horrified to find out that what I need isn't... invented yet.

I feel almost exactly the same as Eugenia on this one. I've only just got my first mobile phone, and now I have a nice digital camera as well. So that's two things to carry around. Now, I would dearly love to have a wi-fi device, so I can get the net wherever I am. I was thinking of buying a laptop to replace my PC; but a laptop is too big to carry everywhere, and obviously too big for your pocket! I would accept something smaller if, indeed it was usable for all those things mentioned.
It's too easy to make mistakes with all this technology: if I bought a laptop now, I might regret it later because this "dream" PDA might exist soon. If I buy a smart camera phone now, I won't be happy because the camera quality is too poor to replace a "real" digital camera. And truly portable 3D gaming power simply doesn't exist yet.
Damn it, I was born one decade too soon ;-)
