His comment is that PDAs are becoming a thing of the past and are being replaced by cell phones which can even be gotten with a traditional keyboard!

I don't agree, frankly. But, of course, only time will tell. I just made a choice to buy another PDA, rather than a PDA cell phone combo, because the larger screen gives me better Web page viewing. Quite often when you buy a tool that "does it all", there are compromises in it's ability to do anything particularly well. My PDA has bluetooth, which will allow me to integrate it with a phone if I have one that has bluetooth in the future. When I want a keyboard I can use a wireless keyboard with the PDA I have. We all use these tools in different ways, so I think there is room for all of the different combinations of things.
