Death of the PDA?

In a week that has seen the launch of two new Palms (Tungsten T3 and Tungsten E) and a pair of Sony Clies, The Guardian wonders if the PDA's days are numbered as consumers gravitate towards smartphones like the Orange SPV E-100, Handspring Treo 600 and Motorola MPx200.

At present the PDA’s trump card is the size of its screen, which makes for a more rewarding experience while web surfing, gaming and working on Word and Excel files. The arrival of fold up LCD screens though (see here) could change all that.
