Well, HTC - High Tech Computer Corp., now has plans to release the world's first 3G Windows Mobile 5.0-based device called? HTC Universal, no surprise there. Look what's instore.

The HTC Universal is expected in the second half of 2005 in Europe, North America, and Asia. Hey, that should mean real soon! The functionality of this is beyond any PDA you've seen before, and has wi-fi capabilities as well. (Skype anyone?)
