Of course the industrial trends are against PDA's. I mean, what do you expect? There are NO good PDA's on the market anymore. Ever since palm stopped making them, people stopped *buying* them. They still want them. Buy what would you get if you already had a TX? An iTouch? Maybe soon.. :-(
So, IMO it's the palm's fault that nobody buys pda's anymore; they just don't make them.
