i mean seriously, there are hardly ANY devices to choose from today. i remember in 2003-2004 all the devices offered and now look, very little. the smart phone has taken over. an example is this forum. look at all the phone sub forums now. i don't recall that being there before. you open up the pocket pc magazine (which has now included smartphone in the title
) and look at the device comparison page. compare it to an issue from 2003 or 2004 and note that there were hardly ANY of those stupid phones.
let's see, there is the dell axim x51v, the hp rx series (which is weak as hell) and then the hx series which has slimmed down, and asus, well, haven't heard of them in awhile. who else? garmin? gps? wow. acer? have to import it. the rest are those stupid phones.
i know that many of you use the smart phones and this is all in my opinion, but what the hell, is there no demand for the regular pocket pc? the market is just crap for the devices now. i remember window's mobile @ microsoft's website and they had the device listings. well, years ago the page was FILLED with PPCs, including my device. i checked today, there are THREE devices.

i want to hear other people's input on this, hopefully people that have been using pocket pcs before 2003. is there any future to them? should i stop waiting for a new device to come out? will there be another device coming out?
also, those UMPCs are out and oh boy, that's another killer.
