Molly to handhelds: just die, already

Sony announced this week that it's pulling out of the PDA game in Japan. The announcement comes a year after Sony stopped selling new handhelds in the United States and Europe, and spells, basically, a complete withdrawal from the PDA market.

Now, if only other PDA makers would get the message. Many have speculated that Palm-based PDAs are dead and have declared victory for Pocket PCs. But actually (spoiler alert!), the entire PDA category is like Nicole Kidman in The Others. It's dead but it just doesn't know it yet.

gotta tell you that I have been through this - $500 for a PDA - that needs special wires to talk to a PC.

Or $950 for a Dell lappy to do all I need?

And my answer was a Dell - for $ under $400

and it does all my things - USB pen for files - and a breifcase on 4 machines - and I can work at all my desktops - without losing anything!

Cheers
