Palm: end of the road?

My Palm T5 is slowly dying (power button temperamental, touch-screen occasionally unresponsive) and I'm thinking of getting a new one. I use it every day, mostly for reading and sudoku, and having something PDA-sized is a key feature, as is the Palm operating system.

A quick product search indicates that the top-of-the-range Palm is still the TX, released in 2005. I did have a TX, loved it and lost it -- the T5 was a replacement when cashflow was problematic. I don't have any problem with acquiring another. But is this really the end of the line for PDAs that aren't also phones?
