This is certainly a surprise - but, I have yet to hear what Access' strategy is with this purchase, and that will really impact what happens in the PDA market.
Do they plan on furthering development of POS? Do they just want the GUI to package with their browser on "smart phones". It seems like an odd match to me, but who knows? It would be interesting to hear Palm, Inc's take on the acquistion, but they have already admitted they can be OS agnostic, so maybe they don't care (If I was them I would - what % of recent sales were made solely to Palm Loyalists? - A LOT!!) If POS is no more, they no longer have the golden goose to rely on.
Lot's of questions, not many answers right now.
