New Virtual Office Device

It seems my Palm T3 is on a slow decline, but I think I've found a replacement device.
Ever since I purchased my Palm T3, I haven't seen anything else worthwhile to replace it. I always carried that PDA with my keyboard for quick access to my clients, friends, and a portable suite of apps. It's been one of my best investments for my business. I wrote about it briefly in my Virtual Office series.
However, since Palm doesn't have it listed on their support site anymore and I'm wondering how much longer I'll have with my Palm T3 (It's still working very well), I needed to find a replacement.

As the Internet is offering more web services to entrepreneurs and small business owners, it's becoming increasingly easy to make your own virtual office.
After posting my series on building your own virtual office, I've noticed more and more activity geared towards using web services and mashups where users are building their own office away from the office.
Based on the amount of programmable services available (2000 according to programmableweb.com), there should be no reason why you couldn't roll your own virtual office.

In part 3, we talk about the most important component of your virtual office: software.
The previous segment in the Virtual Office series talked about how to find a Internet provider and connect to the Internet using your device. Now we get to the meat of your virtual office: the software.
What do you do all day?
Before you start hopping onto the Internet and surfing, take a day or two and find out what you use the most during your busy day? EMail (that's a given), Word, Excel, and Powerpoint are all likely candidates. Determine which applications are the most important to you and your team and start listing them. Match up your needs with what is discussed below.

Part 2 talks about how you will be working in your virtual office: online or offline.
In the previous segment of the Virtual Offfice series, I discussed the best mobile device for managing your mobile office. Now, we'll move towards the network side of things. We can do this in one of three ways: online, offline, or go hybrid (use both).
Going Offline
This is by far the easiest way to work out of your virtual office. There is no need to go online and you can take your work with you anywhere. Pack everything into your device and work offline. No connection is necessary, but you have your files with you and when you're done, you sync up your mobile device and your workstation when you return to the office.

Part 1 gives an introduction and discusses the type of hardware you need to get started.
Introduction
With all of the new applications becoming more Internet-based, it's becoming easier to do business remotely with online (and offline) applications.
With most of the articles I write, I go somewhere quiet and brainstorm, jot down some ideas, and/or write some posts.
