I think Scott Adams screwed up a little on this one. He should have said, "Trust me. That doesn't look good."

I though it was one of the long cartoons...there isn't always a punch line at the end of every single strip, sometimes it takes a few frames to build up to one. I like Dilbert, although he needs to take that to the bathroon or something.

I did miss his arms together there under the table. That makes sense now. The thing is you can use PDA’s for notes during meetings. Who can tell if you’re not taking or playing the latest game!

Yeah, this strikes me as something where Adams was in a meeting and watched someone using a PDA under the table and thought it looked funny. It doesn't seem to have been entirely successful.

It's kind of a weak joke, almost something a fourth-grader would think up. And there was just too much of a jump from the second to the third frames.
It might have worked better if Dilbert had been looking down, and little sound effects were coming from the Blackberry.
Edit: I had a boss about 5 years ago who had a pretty spiffy PDA. He always brought it to meetings and he was always using it. Looked like he was very intently taking notes and organizing his life according to the important things that were being said in the meetings. Turns out he was playing Battleship the whole time.
