PDAs based on Microsoft's Pocket PC operating system now account for 30% of the worldwide PDA market compared to 48.6% for PalmSource's market leading Palm OS, according to research released Monday by Dataquest, a unit of research company Gartner. Pocket PC-based handheld computing systems reached the 30% market share level in the third quarter of 2002, up from a 16.2% share in the third quarter last year, according to Dataquest figures. | ||

| Holy moly... 16.2% to 30%? Palm better think fast. |

| Just look at Netscape. It dwindled to less than 2%, but still refuses to die. |

I think Sony is the only thing keeping the Palm platform alive, as they have done a superb job with trying to bring PalmOS to a place where it can compete with PocketPC devices, although, in most areas, it still simply can not.
I wish Sony would make a PocketPC device, bring some of their great consumer electronics knowledge to a far superior platform. |

| Yes, I agree that I doubt they'll be going away, but if they want to keep a good degree of market share, they had better do something. Especially with Dell entering the PDA market with a $199 model PocketPC.... |

Incidently, did anyone see that Palm just released two new models:

| bluvg: Yeah, with OS5, however, they are stripped down and don't have any real features.... AND they STILL have the stupid grafitti area that you have to write in, rather than having the whole screen as a writing space. They also have no real handwriting recognition. |
