While the PDA started a revolution years ago, the need for disconnected PDAs is rapidly declining. In fact, a few years ago, I predicted that most portable devices sold on the market would have at least two forms of connectivity built in. That proved to be correct, and today connectivity should be a primary driver when you're looking into mobile device purchases for business use. There are several factors that come into play in making the purchasing decision. "
