    We're redefining what the PDA is. Mobile phones are swiftly becoming the new PDA. They store contacts, run software, play MP3s, games, etc as well as having the handy ability to make phone calls. I think the PDA is not dead, it's just merging with mobile phones, which is a lot more useful device than the plain old PDA.
