Good luck finding a PDA.  They seem to have disappeared from the market.

When my Palm TX finally started to die, I looked around and found... 
nothing.

PDAs have been absorbed into cell phones.  You can't get just a PDA anymore.

I ended up getting a Droid, which works very well (but Eric S. Raymond's 
Google Nexus One he had at Penguicon looked really nice).
