Combo PDA-Cell Phone Selection Grows

"These so-called convergence devices, combining functions of PDA and cell phone plus Internet access, are still a small portion of all handhelds sold, says Randy Giusto, an IDC wireless and mobile device analyst. But they are gaining popularity and attention, especially with the rollout of faster wireless networks that promise to make Web browsing and wireless data synching more practical." [PC World]

A round-up of some next-gen devices will start seeing this year, hopefully sooner rather than later. I know Innovative is working on a module that can beam information to a Palm, but are they also working on the PocketPC equivalent? And have they gotten the Palm module out the door yet? I've been volunteering to beta test it for two years now!
