Endangered or Converged?

Another article on Gadget Convergence, this one in the Economist.
In accord to their general mistrust of technology they take a negative
spin and focus on "the Death of the PDA". Isn’t it obvious to everyone

My price-performance sweet spot is a device for under $200 that can
keep track of my appointments and contact info, send and receive email
and basic web pages, can carry and playback a decent amount of music, and
is an easy-to-use phone. Cameras, GPS, and biorthyms I don’t need, but
could be add-ons for those whose tastes differ.

Anyway, here is the Economist article.
