No it helps but it doesn't replace nor do I think it will do so in the future. I need powerful programs that I cannot run on my T3 and I need to refer to a full screen rather than a PDA sized display. I could pretend that I could but I don't think I will.

I have been through several PDAs (several Palm, several PPC and now Treo 600) in the past 9 years. To me they were not a replacement and it will never be.

Like above posts, a PC (laptop) with a full 14+ inch screen can never been replaced by any PDA when you need to work on a word/excel/powerpoint file (say 50-200K in size, which is very normal nowadays).

But also, an always connected Treo is like a dream comes true to me :)
