Boys need Toys
The announced Sony Clie UX50 finally seems to be a device that comes close to my ideas what a PDA should look like. With both WLAN and Bluetooth connectivity, ultra-tight packaging and integration, what Wired Magazine calls a groundbreaking new Handheld Engine that is said to be ultra-low in battery consumption and a display with 480 x 320 pixels, the UX50 looks like an amazing exercise in engineering (though the 300k pixels camera seems to be unimpressive). Note the user interface with the menu icons projected onto a cylinder surface. 700 bucks, and it will be yours.
UPDATE
John Robb has a good piece on the UX50, what the pressures on the PDA market are and why The PDA is the Canary in the Coal Mine.
