Fighting for customers, PDAs offer cool features

I am almost more enthusiastic about the fact that CNN is talking about PDAs and specifically the iPAQ 5555 in this article, than what they are actually saying about the PDAs in question. Having CNN say that PDAs are almost as common as shoes goes a long way to make it sound like everyone should have one. Ok, they didn't say that...Here's what they did say:
"Personal digital assistants are almost as common as cellular phones, and with so many models of these mobile devices, companies are packing them with extra features hoping to set themselves apart from the competition. "
Any comments?

I agree it's great to see that the PocketPC/Palm market is gaining greater recognition and moving away from being percieved as fringe (Business) market.
Now all we need is for the manufacturers to listen to what the end users actually want.
That and maybe some more FPS games!

True, that reminds me though, how long would it be before Palm would sue MS for unfair competitive practices?

Now yer talkin!
I'm sure a hacked down port of Halflife 2 would go a llloooooonnnnnnggggg way to raising the promince of the PocketPC .
But unfortuately I reckon we have about as much chance of getting Blizzard to release the source code of Starcraft/Warcraft as we do of getting even Halflife.
Personally I'd settle for a clone/port of Shadow Warrior/Duke Nuke em.

According to my sauces (mainly ketchup) it would appear that HL2 will be released in April 2004.
Apparently the SDK version is being shipped presently and this precedes a games full release.
It also appears that Valve have resolved their legal differences "Presumably with Havoc creators of the HL2 game engine" over the leak of the HL2 source code.
