[NYS_Eric]

Long-time PDA user (original Palm, Handspring, IPAQ 3630, and finally my all-time favorite, the IPAQ 1910).

Couldn't live without one of these babies. My life is on there (all encrypted and hot-synched daily, of course!).

I've owned a few in the past few years. I liked using the Journada most. However, inevitably they all ended up gathering dust on my desk.

I can see how productivity would be affected. I think the ROI will be realized once the cell phone and pda merge into a light weight product (which is already available in various forms). Ideally, I would like to see such a device in the form of eye glasses, wherein the User can operate using eye movement and hand motions, though that might look a bit odd to the casual observer.
