The future is mobile. That much we know for sure. But it seems that the operating system world in this market is being rapidly taken over by --again-- Microsoft. The new smart phones are are using WinCE, Symbian or Palm. Linux has barely 1% of this new, smartphone market.

Well great, but most people that have a need for a phone and palm-like device don't want to have to lug around two devices (in addition to wallet, mp3 player and all the other junk). Especially people that use both devices daily. It also means have to sync your contacts and other information between the two devices all the time (such as contacts).
Most people want one simple device that does all it needs (phone, contact manager, writing emails, listening to mp3s, todo list, quick camera, VOIP, etc...) and it dosn't take far to look that instead of 3-4 devices that a regular buissness person would use you can use one.
So you don't need one? Great! Don't buy one.
