Sony Clie UX50: I think that PDA probably was intended to come out under their new Qualia label, for all the bells and whistles. I think if they'd timed the line-announcement a little better, that PDA would have been an appropriate addition to the luxury-focused nature of that line.
One of the reasons that the slider thang is big on the new Palms is that research showed most users accessing their PDAs to retrieve, rather than input data. I definitely fall in this category, using my Palm Desktop to perform almost ALL my organization and data-entry. The PDA's best function is to remember all that info for me, and for reading PDB format eBooks.
If I was really hardcore about having complete PC functionality in a PDA, I'd be looking at the Linux powered Zaurus, or one of the only slightly larger than the Clie, Crusoe-powered Windows notebooks that are available here.
