Handheld devices must converge full PC functionality with phone technology. Carrying around a pda and a phone is just not acceptable. The demand is there otherwise there wouldn't be a pda market. The current Microsoft PocketPC offering falls way short on the phone side (I use and xda), which is a shame. MS talking of developing specific devices smacks of taking 'the easy option'. Getting an operating system on a high volume system such as mobiles will eventually influence choice on PCs.
