Handspring Merger Heeds a New PDA Order (registration required)

This is an article by Majeed Ahmad for Electronic Engineering Times - Asia talking about a "new pda order."

The real direction that PDA seems to be taking is towards a new world of usefulness to further empower as personal assistants beyond address book, and even conventional wireless and multimedia features. The fundamental perception of handheld computing with some form of interactivity could eventually branch into a plethora of new devices that serve a number of niche areas the same way BlackBerry with its wireless e-mail capability became a necessity for stock brokers and mobile executives.

He also mentions that there will be a need for handheld devices that are "specialized" for various fields including the medical profession. He feels that Handspring is particularly suited to this task, judging by its ability to change and adapt, and strengthened by its merger with Palm.
