It's the end of the PDA as we know it, and I feel fine

Toshiba and Fujitsu-Siemens will be added along with Sony to the growing list of PDA manufacturers pulling out of the U.S. market for PDAs.

They'll let HP have the shrinking PDA market. But, don't bet on PDAs anymore. It's the smartphone (PDA/cell phone combos) that will continue to grow as people ditch their PDAs.

See:

News article

Throw out your tired PDAs and go with a J2ME smartphone instead.

So ummm, where can one get a J2ME smartphone in the USA? Or at least one not priced at $500+?

Hi Azeem,

I don't know the price, but the Motorola MPx220 is good:
