Notebook Extinction?

Does a desktop and handheld device make more sense than a notebook? This article cites one company that is attempting such a conversion with 700 employees. The desktop offers more power, has a longer lifecycle, and is cheaper to maintain. The handheld offers email, web, and IM - not to mention being a lot lighter and more portable than a notebook.

My notebook is up for replacement, but I may opt to go the desktop/handheld route.

You can't do any real work on a handheld. That may be fine for a bottom barrel consultant, but unacceptable for a high-powered architect. ;-)
