I'm looking for a handheld device. I only know of two manufacturers Palm and blackberry. I am looking more for a PDA, not a smartphone. I would prefer not to get a phone because the phone I've got is one i really like. The features in a handheld are as follows, in order of more important to least important.
Ability to sync with a mac (Even if it only syncs with its own software and not address book or anything else)
Sturdy
Wireless lan for Web browsing
PDF viewer
Standard features (Phonebook, calendar, notepad, scratchpad/sketchpad, picture viewer)
Any suggestions would be welcome of anything that might match these needs.

The Nokia N810 looks like a good choice:

It doesn't function as a phone, and has WLAN, a PDF reader, GPS, everything you could need.
HP also make two PDAs: the iPAQ 114 Classic and the iPAQ 214 Enterprise.

an iPod touch is able to do every thing you listed there. The only disadvantage is that it only picks up Internet over wifi because there is no monthly bill paid to AT&T for a data plan. The only feature you listed that doesn't come standard is a sketchpad but with the app store you can download an application that can do that.

Thanks rvalkass, They're the simmilar sort of thing, but it looks like The HPs aren't avail in Australia... Or at least where I know to get them from.
Not to sound ungreatful galexcd, Thanks but I don't really want another ipod. as great as the features are. And the fact it pretty much fulfills all of my criteria, I just want to be a bit different. I was considering the ipod touch, but the fact it'l become just an ipod to me. I won't completely rule it out yet. but at the moment I'm not really after an ipod touch or iphone.

If you like the look of the HP ones, Australia actually has a wider range than the UK 
iPAQ 112 Classic - AU$399
iPAQ 212 Enterprise - AU$599
iPAQ HX2400 - AU$599
iPAQ HX2700 - AU$799
