I think pda's will start being used to run business specific applications soon... I'm currently in the middle of a project that involves making a web based application that will run on a PDA to handle work orders and time reporting for employees. They seem to be getting more rugged (The one i'm working with now can be dropped from 10 feet onto solid concrete and it will still work fine) and with 64 megs of RAM they can run pretty decent applications.
Once companies see the value of PDA's and ways they can solve their business problems I think they will really take off... As for personal use I have absolutely no use for one... I find my laptop to be much more useful.
