It's getting closer. Now that PDAs are being replaced by smart phones, the equation is changing. I'm still not ready to give up my PDA.

It used to be:

Phone
PDA
Laptop
Desktop

Now it looks like it will be:

Smart Phone
UMPC
Laptop
Desktop

...And within 5 years I bet the Laptop will start to be replaced by a viable, powerful UMPC, which will do 99% of what most people need when they're away from their desktop.

If prices come down, these kinds of things could find an interesting place between PDA and notebook. They are too big to replace all PDAs, but too small to replace all notebooks, especially those of people who use notebooks as their main systems. For people who do not need something to be as small as a PDA nor as large-screened as a notebook, these might eventually occupy a sweet spot for price and performance. I would like to have one as a secondary system, kept at easy reach in the living room or the kitchen.
