>This answer is so easy.
The question was rhetorical. If a company was to pick up the pieces and properly market Linux embedded to this sector, things would have been different.
>I don't want to browse the web on either of them
I browser the net with them all the time. Clearly, our needs are different. The PDA-Phone combo is not going to attract everyone, but it is going to attract a lot of people. And this creates a market division of its own that Linux COULD be bigger. That was the point of the editorial.
