Is Palm the Next Netscape? | |

Even though Palm's operating system still owns more than half of the PDA (personal digital assistant) market, Microsoft's marketing engines are roaring. With Microsoft aligning with Intel, and making a full-court press to capture more of the mobile operating system market, it is not hard to see a new Microsoft-Netscape battle brewing. This time, though, the battle is more than just browsers. It is about full operating systems, and Palm now is the would-be David facing the Goliath of the software industry. In just a few years, the software giant has been able to capture more than 20 percent of a market that it never even flirted with before. From 2000 to 2001, Microsoft more than doubled its share of the mobile operating system market from 10 percent to 21 percent, according research firm Gartner Dataquest. | ||
