iPaq/RIMM/CPQ:

WLD:

It's been called an "iPaq" in the press. This must be a mistake, because I thought the Pocket PC/Compaq was an "iPaq". (Unless the Rimm iPaq is using the Microsoft C/E O/S as well.)

Blackberry's are a great tool from what I have heard. Keyboard on the device. Many investment professionals (a la James Cramer's office) use them religiously. Instant messaging is supposedly a "killer app".

The Psion Revo has a keyboard attached as well, at an affordable price.

In my opinion -- if the cpq/rimm device combines 1) instant messaging, and 2) the looks/applications of the iPaq PocketPC, then it should do well in the market.
