I understand what you are saying, but an PDA IS a computer! Perhaps  
not what you may think of as a PC or Mac, but they are computers.
As is the K3! Ok, the K3 is not a general purpose computer - you can't  
do spreadsheets on it (yet!), but it has firmware and processors etc -  
it's a computer.

One definition (there are many):
A programmable machine. The two principal characteristics of a  
computer are:
• It responds to a specific set of instructions in a well-defined  
manner.
• It can execute a prerecorded list of instructions (a program).
