I think the 770/800 ARE pdas (in pocket pc form factor). A pda is a
pocketable (generally) computer. The term PDA could also apply to umpc
possibly.<br>

I consider the PepperPad3 and Samung Q1 umpcs.<br>

I generally categorize devices not by PIM/pda terms...but by their size
("pocket pc", "umpc"). I consider the "blown out" digital phones to be

has been applied to this.<br>

Of course, they mis-characterize the 770 as a PDA, but the usage and development is interesting. Seems like a nice business to upsell the $350 Nokia tablet for $3000.
