As stated above a few times, laptops are nice to have.
I also like to following gadgets:
Pyro 1394 FireWire Smart Media Reader/Writer (I got mine for $25.00 plus S&H)
AVerMedia Ultra TV USB 300 (I think they go for around $130.00 or so)
Digital Multimeter M1000B (They run pretty cheap these days at a cost around $20-$30 each)"It is difficult not to wonder whether that combination of elements which produces a machine for labor does not create also a soul of sorts, a dull resentful metallic will, which can rebel at times".

I use my PDA with a laser keyboard to take notes in client meetings. Less intimidating to the client and they really get off on the cool factor. That way I don't have to translate my notes to my laptop at a later time. Just upload from my PDA. I also use the wireless capabilities quite extensively. YMMV. I do, however, agree that for most folks a full size laptop or mp3 player is probably more bang for the buck.

Get a laptop, mp3 player, something you will actually use.

Yea I use my PDA alot. I have the same type of wireless keyboard as you have described. I kept all of the dc503 meeting notes on mine. Throw on a CF wireless card and you have a mini-laptop almost.The penguin is watching.

I like my Pocket PC Phone Edition. It's got some faults (like having memory
allocation issues so you have to soft reset sometimes) but all in all it's nice
having a combo Phone/PPC/Mp3 player. Pocket Streets/GPS talks you to your
destination. Also, being able to watch movies on your phone is cool.

My Apple Newton MessagePad 130. I still say it's a better PDA than the Palms, etc. that followed it; it's just a shame that Apple killed it when they did.
