What does everyone think is appropraite for a pda? When Jim mentioned xdm in irc
the otherday I thought it was a great idea....Thinking about it some more...I'm
not sure....Is a pda a mutli-user device? If so should more than one profile be
resident on the device at a time (a la palm...Which only has one user profile
synced to the device at a time)...

Just asking to get a discussion started...
