PalmSource and Microsoft in a Virtual Tie for No. 1 Worldwide PDA OS Market | |
|
||
| Time: 09:55 EST/14:55 GMT | News Source: Business Wire | Posted By: Brian Kvalheim | ||
|
Worldwide PDA shipments declined 4.6 percent in the first quarter of 2004, but the battle for the PDA operating system market has heated up as PalmSource and Microsoft were in a virtual tie in shipments in the first quarter of 2004, according to preliminary results from Gartner, Inc. Palm OS shipments declined by 20.7 percent in the first quarter of 2004 compared with the same period last year (see Table 1). Palm OS market share slipped to 40.7 percent, while the Windows CE market share increased to 40.2 percent. Microsoft licensees have been steadily chipping away at the Palm OS lead since 2000, when Microsoft accounted for 11 percent of the PDA market. | ||

Impossible. When I bought my Windows CE device back in 2000 I was told that I was wasting my money... WinCE was Dead, the Palm was going to kill it.
BTW, the talking advertisement is bloody annoying. |
