Microsoft's PDA platform has overtaken the once dominant PalmSource, according to research group Gartner.
The company says that in the most recent third quarter, the global market for handheld devices showed Microsoft's Windows Mobile Pocket PC platform accounting for nearly half the three million units shipped.
About 2.8 million handhelds were shipped in Q3, with Microsoft taking 48.5 per cent of that market and PalmSource accounting for 29.8 per cent, down from 46.9 per cent a year earlier and a drop of 28 per cent.
