Just wondering why there's no PDA/iPod forum. The iPod is so popular and all, and many people use Palm (or other..) PDA to sync with their Mac. They don't really seem to fit in the generalized "peripherals" forum.

So then, why isn't there such a forum? Is it lack of demand, or a technical reason, or what?

I don't know if that was meant as friendly sarcasm, but no, the aren't just "peripherals". That's my point.

You don't use an iPod or a PDA to enhance or extend the capabilities of your computer, but rather, as a complement to your computer. A "companion" perhaps. Also, I think there are enough users for a decent sized forum.

Peripherals is where any posts on.... peripherals... should be made.

Discussion and support of all that other hardware that didn't come inside your computer.
