I would strongly disagree. As more and more people begin to rely heavily on being "connected" having a handheld is becoming increasingly neccessary.
I'm not always around my desktop, but I if I had a handheld running a free Unix, I could do 80% of my work on that, mostly coding.
Why are handhelds running Win9x so much more in demand than WinCE? Because people want to be able to integrate data with their desktop PC, and if you are running the same OS, this is painless.
Well, my desktop OS is Linux, so I want a Linux handheld for the same reasons. Heck, I don't even need to run XFree86, but it's really comforting to know that some daring Libretto owners have managed to do it.
