I'm glad to see that the PocketPC is now nearly a third of the PDA universe (at least as far as new sales are concerned.)

With the upcoming new hardware, I agree that HP will probably jump up quite a bit in market share. However, it's my belief we'll see a really dramatic change when the next MSFT operating system for PDAs hits the market. Take a look at what a PPC can do today, and then ask yourself, "what's next?" With Palm making, in my opinion, a feeble attempt to get to PPC standards today, you just wonder how they'll keep up, the whole time MSFT and OEM partners just chew up more market share. Palm - R.I.P.

I think the next generation PPC O/S will be the one that gets Pocket PC market share close, if not over, the 50% threshold.
