PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless 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.

What about the future?

I feel very related to the writer. I have been looking for such a device quite some time but haven't found a suitable one either.
About the amount of processing power and memory size: why runs apps on the pda itself? Since IPv6 is comming up and WiFi stations popping up everywhere, why still have the need to carry your applications with you instead of connecting to your desktop computer over the internet? Connection speeds are getting highed, latency lower and costs are decreasing so why not use a technoligy like GPRS?
