I thought I might throw in a few photos on the page. Here's one of a new toy I just got, a handheld PDA. Sony makes some nice ones, this is the new TG50.
In addition to the usual PDA standards (address book, calendar, memos and so forth) this model has some nice features. It sports a backlit thumb keyboard, with the handwriting-recognition Graffiti still included as on on-screen virtual mode; it can record your speech for quite some time if you have a good-sized memory stick (I got a 128MB card), and it plays back movie files and MP3s. There's a nice jog dial and the look is nice. One of the best features IMHO is the Bluetooth connectivity--I can hotsync the device with both my Mac and PC without the cradle or USB cable, and it syncs nicely with iCal and Address Book on the Mac (I hate entering all sorts of data on mini-devices). For the Mac, it needed a $30 software program called Missing Sync, but it work great once you've got it going.
If you own a Clie, there is a great forum to peruse.
