Re:Probably going to focus on PSP.

Speaking as a Palm user who went with a new Ipaq I can say STAY AWAY FROM POCKETPC. In case I wasn't clear, the pocketpc is a giant piece of crap for calander/task compared to the palm. Now can I watch movies on it? Yep. Can I do office stuff on it? Yep. But do I? Nope the screen is too small and the data input sucks. The core functionality of the device sucks. If you want to "upgrade" then you should look at some of the new phones. In my opinion Sony knows the non cell phone pda market is about dead and they are moving to smart phones. That and the PSP will be their product that fills in the gap of "standard" PDA stuff.

Latly, consider this a warning. Don't buy a a PocketPc!!!! Talk to the mass of people who bought one just to dump it within 6 months.
