Buddy,  I can and do see a problem if you are hiking or backpacking in
the wilderness where there is no reliable or non access at all.  While
the PDA can and does serve in these situations, sometimes at base camp
having a laptop is nice as well.  Later.

Actually, System Access To Go is pretty darned slick. Assuming a
computer isn't too tightly locked down, you can just do windows-r and
type iexplore http://www.satogo.com and press enter, then follow all the
prompts. The program is run remotely an won't work if you have no
Internet connection, but even for that, with the prvasiveness of
always-on high speed networks, this is going to become a non-problem.  
It's a great solution if you need one in a pinch (visiting a friend, for
instance; or a library; or ...)

With this and Serotek's other offerings, not to mention their
partnership with Lenovo, and the screen reader bundled with Mac OS X, I
see the face of assistive technology changing significantly and quickly.
My opinion? The traditional players in the field had better scramble to
keep themselves relevant.
