  If I'm being serious, I call them "handhelds".  (I kind of liked
"palmtop" (by analogy with desktop and laptop) but it never took off
and so sounds funny.)

  I would usually make a distinction between something like my Palm
Centro (which is a general-purpose computer which can play music) and
an early-generation iPod (which can only play music).  The former is a
handheld computer, the later is a music player.
