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 also have a palm which i never use.
Frankly, i am not so sure about the entire mobile computing thing for the masses at least. I see the use for the road warrior, sales rep, real estate person but not so much for the consumer.
I drive most places (public transportation is a joke in the suburbs) and i don't have much down time when i am out anyway. It might be more useful while i am in the city (NY city) so as to find places to eat or directions but i don't leave my home to sit on a corner somewhere and surf the web.
Mobile computing from my view point has to become a lot more useful. Streaming audio to my car (three companies in america own most of the radio stations here and they just suck) is the only thing i'd use for now.
most people don't need mobile computing yet..that is the real problem.
