You could also argue that the future is also greater integrated storage. In this regard PalmOne is taking the initiative with devices like the Lifedrive.
Why? Buy a device with an integrated hard-drive and you have two problems: 1) You are stuck with that size of hard-drive; and 2) The device needs to be bigger to allow for ventilation. Buy a device with a CF slot and you have a slimmer PDA with the ability to upgrade your disk size over time. All the advantages with one of the disadvantages.
