While is hard not to appreciate the PDA's ability to change with the times, it appears that its heady days of mobile dominance are coming to an abrupt end.
A number of factors are competing in the mobile products field right now, all of which are vying for the same buyers. While the most formidable competition is from the smartphone, there is also pressure from small laptops, the UMPC, increasingly capable cell phones, and a few other takers, like portable media players. We takes a look at the future of the PDA and if it will be able to survive the onslaught of alternative mobile devices.

    I want something slightly bigger than a normal pocket PC, maybe like slightly bigger than a HPC (the PDAs that flipped open and had keyboards like the HP Jornada) but is x86 compatible. That would be great, not the utterly locked down and unimaginably locked down current 'WindowsCE' PPCs. Advantage with the clip open ones too is that you don't need a case as you can't scratch the screen when it's in your pocket as it's closed, which I much prefer to the PPCs you get now (typing was so easy too).
