The alternative viewpoint is that if you can get everything you need
off a PDA then the SN10 may be distracting.

I left room in my panel for an SN10 and even allowed for its non
standard dimensions. I later bought a used one but willingly sold it
back to the seller when she changed her mind.

I'm not knocking the SN10 but SN10+PDA = DISTRACTING does not equate to
PDA=DISTRACTING.

Whether a PDA is useful or distracting is a function of the software,
not the PDA itself. There are several software options, some better
than others, to chose from.
