The PDA is dead, revisited
So, watching The Screensavers and they are doing a rant on PDA's. Again, they are saying the pda is near death (e.g., Sony dropping out). One of them says the PDA hasn't peaked yet.
I have agreed that the PDA is starting to faulter, which is apparent on the sale figures. One of the reasons I believe it has started to slow is that cell phones are becoming a replacement to PDA's. Recently, MP3 players are being able to play video at a cheaper price. I think the peak of the PDA is when the PDA doesn't exist. A perfect PDA will be embodied in a cell phone or in an MP3 player. Another reincarnation of the PDA will be in extra small PC/laptop.
PDA means a limited OS, limited memory, limited screen size. The perfect PDA will evolve and turn into something else.
Thoughts?
