My experiences are pretty similar. I started out with a Palm Pilot Pro, moved to a III, IIIx, Vx, M505, and then all Windows Mobile from there on for the same reasons. I think Apple is angling toward a Newton-like device soon. I'd be surprised if we don't see one within the next year or so. The iPhone and Touch are close, but I think they want to do the Tablet thing in a similar form factor and are just waiting for a good time to release it; namely when it won't cannibalize iPhone and iPod Touch sales.
