What do you guys think of the Palm Life Drive?

Don't know if you guys use PDAs much. My palm is nearly required for my school, and I find it very useful for checking email and carrying around files and such. I just saw this, and while it seems cool, I'm not sure how it's much different from my current Palm loaded with a 512 MB SD card. Sure, it's got like 8 times the storage. Can you access the memory over the network? 'Cause that might be nifty. And being able to work on your documents on the Palm from a regular computer would bring the Palm one step closer to replacing the laptop computer.

Having looked at a co-worker's top-of-the-line Asus 640x200something PocketPC, I think the #1 thing that would keep me from using a palmtop is the terribly small screen.

On the other hand, I've heard rumors that Toshiba is planning a laptop with a 19" display, which sounds exactly like defeating the purpose of having a mobile PC to begin with.
