...Well, you get my point.
please, lets be real. it DOES NOT perform more than half those things half as well as the standalone counterpart (i.e. - MP3 player/iPod, sketchpad/pencil & pad, console emulator/GBA)

The only things listed that PPC/Palm can do comfortably for the MAJORITY of users are the calendar, address book, human reminder & calculator functions. Everything else is just a stretch and requires patience.

Anyhoo, I haven't read the article yet but I'm sure I agree with the dude. Keep in mind he's not writing for the "look at what my do-hickey can do!" kind of user.
