It might turn out that way, but still PDA functionality will exist as an idea.....everyone needs a very portable electronic agenda, and TabletPCs are just not portable like PDAs ;) Besides, a PDA can do all sorts of stuff, without having the bulk, weight, and price of a TabletPC, so for those people who just need to do those things and nothing else, TabletPCs will always be a nice gimmick......

On the other hand, the majority of phones will remain as small as possible, so that their "portability" is at maximum. If you go to a club, you dont need to carry your PDA, but you NEED to carry your mobile, hence a small sized phone will always be welcome ;)
