Submission + - Replacement for Palm PDA? 1

owlmon writes: I have been using PalmOS devices for years. Now, the stars in this universe are blinking out, one by one. I am searching for a replacement device. I wish to duplicate properties such as
1. Convenient access to personal information, including contacts and appointments.
2. Simple backup/restore of all data.
3. No storage of personal data on OPS (other peoples' servers)!
4. Small and easy to use.
5. Stable software and hardware.
6. Third party developers.

The best approximation I have found so far is Apple's Ipod Touch. In second place, an HP Mini (netbook). Neither of these devices has all of the advantages of a Palm PDA. Suggestions?

It would be cool if my MacPro and my laptop used WiFi to sync up documents, preferences, media files and such. This problem is especially acute in iTunes where I have hundreds of GB of media on my main machine, but have to manually manage those things on my laptop. I wish Apple recognized this problem and solved it elegantly.

rsync?
