Farewell to Handhelds
Great discussion on SlashDot and the start of a trend away from PDAs and toward smart phones. I’ve experienced the shift myself, and am seeing it start to happen with people around me. The key issue right now is easy syncing of data to/from the phone. It has to be easy – and for this to happen it should be wireless and effortless (read automatic). The industry hasn’t quite caught on to this yet.
