Future of handhelds looking good

Check out the

Archos

Linux based with a 30GB HD... Pricey, but pretty.

The

Sendo streams music. I've also seen news about XM/Sirius offering streams to phones, of course. They said it's going to be around 200 bucks, not bad for all you get.

Wow, the Archos thing is like $800! Still, a 30gb handheld is awesome. I can't wait till they really become worth owning!
I bought an Ipaq a few years back. The thing was cool, but I dropped it at my friend's bachelor party (electronics and beer don't mix!). It still works fine, but the spring-loaded stylus release broke. The screen is scratched up, because it's an older, inferior design. And the battery is so bad that it goes dead after about an hour.

Yeah, iPaq's are still cool. Maybe I should look for one on eBay.

I'm wondering just how much longer these yo-yo's will keep holding out on us. I know they gotta move all the crap they got now but we should already have a unit that plays mp3's, streaming media from the likes of XM, PDA, phone and gaming device all rolled into one.

But of course, it would cost 1500 bucks and only Snoop Dogg and Paris Hilton would have one.
