 Hopefully this didn't double post, I don't know where my first try went.
Wow! Sony announced today that it is no longer making the clie forthe US market. As a long time pda users (see list at end), I am saddened to see what appears to be the beginning of the end of the PDA as we know it. Guess I'm one of the few people that doesn't want to have my pda on my cell phone. I had hoped that more companies would have put out linux based pda's but that has never materialized. Now with Handspring and Sony gone from POS and Casio and Toshiba gone from PocketPC, the options are getting very scarce. Hope my current handhelds hold up a while.
 
One other thing, I seem to remember hearing that the Newton OS only goes up to a certain year. Is this true and what year would that be?
