Question for handheld users
 

Why has no company slapped an iPod-ish 40GB hard drive in a Palmpilot type handheld? Sure, it would probably double or triple in thickness and weight (and price), but small price to pay for a handheld that could double as a media library/player and do all your regular palmpilot things.

I think this is more of a question for product managers...

I am tempted to think that either:
a) no-one has thought of a good market for such a device (would you market it as a PDA (for business ppl) or a media player (for teenagers)
b) they want to cash in some more on the seperate devices before launching the killer. The market would drift to one type of device (instead of the 2 now) and that generates less total revenue.

it would be cool, but i think the large hd + lcd would kill the battery.

you can use a 4G microdrive (creative muvo2) in a pda w/ CF II slot....
