PDA's ala PalmPilot are going to require a very different interface
anyways - you can't just tweak a desktop GUI and make it work nicely on a
PDA. I think focusing on the desktop for now is imperative, and if someone
actually starts doing a PDA environment on Linux, there's a lot of code &
components that can be shared from Nautilus.
