best PDA to do the following?

play MP3's

large color display for Garmin maps

take generic expandable RAM.

Bluetooth

standard Cardbus slot so I can plug in one of the new 3G aircards for web
browsing -- is this available on any of them?

interchaneable LiIon batteries.

clamshell design would be nice.

I have no particular OS requirements, though I will hotsync to an XP
laptop.

Forgive me the joke, but a 12" iBook or Powerbook from Apple would do
all of that.

I have a 15" Centrino, great device.
However, I'd like something a little smaller for this purpose.

Delorme has a new GPS system. The receiver can connect to a battery

In fact they have a model made for PDA's and Laptops with all the cables
battery packs software etc for $319. You can see that one he

Thank you. I am aware of that. The big question is, choice of the PDA.
Are any of them capable of browsing the standard web without "special
edition" web pages?
Do any of them have laptop-type card slots, or are they restricted to that
other mini-card?
The various cellphone outfits offer high speed data cards, but I can't
afford one for the laptop and a separate one for the PDA

Nope, only the iQue made by Garmin can run the programs needed to show

I stupidly transposed "Garmin" and "DeLorme."

DeLorme has an equivalent line, and supports generic PDA's.

You can't go wrong with an HP iPAQ h5550/h5555. Add one of the many
expansion packs and you can use third party PCMCIA, CF and SD cards.

If you want card slots built-in, consider the iPAQ h2210/h2215 or the
Toshiba e800/e805.

And since this is an audio newsgroup, have a look at our PDAudio
system. It turns a PDA into a two track 24/96 high-res audio recorder.
