Stuck with my old devices

I think the era of the PDA is just about over. My Palm is so old that it makes me look like a hillbilly! (Sorry, I stole that line from Aqua Teen Hunger Force and I love using it!) Palm still sells a couple of models, but I'm pretty sure that's the end of the line. Everyone wants their PDA software bundled into a phone, so now there are a jillion ugly smartphones to choose from. I think they're all too big and ugly, and I don't want to keep a giant keyboard in my pocket when I just want to make a call every now and then! Besides, I'm a Graffiti master - I even have my current Palm hacked to use the old Graffiti since I've learned it so well! Of course, the iPhone may be the answer for me, but I'm not too psyched about an all-in-one device, no matter how cool it is (that could all change the moment I see one in person, though!). I think what I want is nice PDA functionality in my iPod - so I want an iPhone without the phone! Then again, I hate my phone now, too - it's thick and burning battery life like a big-ass truck burns gasoline. Anyway, I've got to get some new devices sometime this year. I will certainly miss certain applications on the Palm, though - mainly kanji studying and countless hours of solitaire on the potty. I love upgrading my toys, but it's awful when I don't know what to buy next!
