It depends on what you need to do on the trip. Remember, it doesn't have PowerPoint or Excell. So, if you have a need for spreadsheet or presentation manager then you would still need a laptop. And, of course, there is no OCR of any kind.

It would also be handy if the Icon had the ability to send faxes over the internet as part of the print drivers. This would be handy, for example, to fax ones boarding pass to a hotel using on-line check in. The question really would be for me does the Icon have enough capabilities, or will I still need to bring my laptop on short trips? If the icon had printing and faxing capabilities it would be all that much more ubiquitous avoiding the need to also carry a laptop in addition to a PDA.
