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.

DON'T believe anybody who think they know the best PDA for you. You are the only one to know that.
I too (like most people here) have that geek gene. For years I jumped between various PDA, unsuccesfully. Until I really sat down, and wrote exactly what *I* need most on a portable machine, and what is secondary that I'm willing to sacrifice.
I realized that what I nneded wasn't a PDA, nor a Laptop, but a Sub-Notebook. Namely, after few search, the Psion NetBook (and now the NetBook Pro). Many people will say it's a crappy deal. Maybe for them. But for me, it's que quintessential of what *I* needed. And I never used so much a portable computer in my entire life.
Bottom line : be sure to know what YOU want, not what other people think it's best.
