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 believe your number one priority is the ability to play video games and your idea of using flash RAM is because you are stuck in a mind set of current PDAs. Plus even if said device was in production, how many consumers would use it to the full extent of what it could be used for?
Also, a super device like this isn't even around in the larger device market. What is a well known laptop that can do all this and size doesn't matter?
Every laptop produced today is capable of doing everything you want to do but sans camera. The oqo is the best device I see for this (if you want a camera get a web cam) and your idea of not wanting linux or palm is ridiculous. Why would you not want "another palm in the house" ? You shouldn't limit your current crop based on software when your demands are all hardware. What if your desired product comes out but with a palm os? Tapwave I think has a great product for mobile gaming as well as organizing but it lacks way too many features to be considers for your idea though it does have some impressive things for gaming and the two expansion slots would work for 802.11b and a camera plus they have a great assortment of games ready. However, it is palm based. www.tapwave.com
Personally I'll keep my current set up. PowerBook, isight, airport, minidv camera and powershot camera. but just going around town casually as I believe you are referring to. iPod with voice recorder and a t616.
