Yes, it has been 10 years since Palm Computing launched its first product, the Pilot 1000. The handheld pioneer has had a checkered decade of bad management decisions, botched acquisitions and increasing competition from phone companies. However, Palm said a new relationship with Microsoft, a focus on smart phones and a future of software partnerships have put the company back on track.

I for one am disappointed that most PDAs are heading in such a direction as to primarily be cell phones
And the wrist watch is also being replaced by the cell phone. I've seen so many people whip out their cell phone just to check on the time instead of wearing a wrist watch. Kind of like a modern day pocket watch come to think of it.
Cell phones became more popular (I think) because you can operate it with just one hand, rather than having to weild a stylus. The concept of a phone is more easily related to by more non-techy people, whereas the idea of a digital notepad is still awkward to many people. Just look at how well Tablet PCs are being adopted.
