Classic PDAs (under the UMPC's shadow)


Usually the 'classic' pdas are all the models sold before the coming of the convergenge Phone/Pda. In this class have been produced
 some of the better mobile devices. 
At this time the pure PDA (Personal Digital Assistant or PPC if we want refer to PocketPC Win powered device) are really few. 
The only brand that came back to produce a such device, running under the last WM 6, is HP as you can see below.
Even if the users of the last Pda PPC considered them like small pocketable PC i think that will not be further evolution for these 
models on which start to appear the shadows of the ultra portable.
mini, etc PC, powered by a full O.S, better screen and ever low prices going over, so that, i assume they will become acceptable 
notwithstanding their bigger dimension if referred to a Classic Pda.

iPaq 200

NOTE:
To point out why the coming of UMPC and, better, the last miniPC can put in the shadow the 
classic Pdas please consider that an Eee PC has about the same price of a iPaq 100. 
Well, it is true that dimension and weight are biggest than a pocketable iPaq, but you surely
get, using an Eee or one of the coming low cost miniPC, a real substitute of your notebook.
And if you get a bigger screen, a full Keyboard and the O.S you commonly use how can a limited
Pda succeed in this challenge ?
Well there are surely somebody that anyway prefers a tiniest object to appreciate mobile use 
but will be so many to push producers, HP included, to create again classic Pdas ?
