PDAs All Wireless?

This ZDNet article ponders the future of PDA's and mobile phones, which are coming together into a new category of 'smart phone', like the Handspring Treo which I talked about a couple of days ago:

"If you go one year ahead, it will be impossible to sell any PDA without network access"

The article argues that Palm and Handspring will be crushed between the mobile phone companies and Microsoft (who are entering the cellphone category too):

"the PDA market of around 10 million units a year is dwarfed by the mobile phone market, with sales of around 410 million units a year"
