This is my thinking:
Consumer PDAs (Like Palm's ZIRE) will be killed by advanced one-hand
operated smartphones (Like the 3650 and not the P800) with modular OSs
like those based on Symbian (Also Nokia Series 60).
PDAs will remain a limited niche for business users and powerusers.
Reasons:
1 - Smartphones do include most if all of the features of consumer PDAs
included advanced PIM, Caledars and e-mail support.
2 - Carrying 2 things creates a lot of stress
3 - One-hand operated devices are much better for day-to-day use and
for most of the applications...
What do you think?

PS: Do you have any number about the success of Sony Clio Pdas in Japan?
