I got sent home from my grade 11 New York trip for breaking curfew. Just visiting the guys across the hall, at 11:00pm! Anyway, when I got home (on my bday) I found out that my band director had demoted me from first chair flute because I got suspended from school, and that I couldn't go on the band trip. I had already been suspended and sent home, now they were going to deny me another trip? I quit the band in protest and wrote a letter to the band director asking to be given back my old position and to be allowed on the trip, and it worked! Schools can be reasoned with, you don't always need to take them to court!
I think part of the reason that nobody buys PDA's is that most people really don't understand them. Hell, my parents are still getting used to WindowsXP, and you really have to learn how PDA's work. For instance, I've had my Zire 72 for about 6 months, and I'm still getting used to the Grafiti2 system.
IPods are popular because they're so EASY.

I'd be curious to see how they deal with electron tunneling, one layer of atoms doesn't sound very stable.
