Right now, they are getting a clue from the phone industry, where gimmickry abounds! :| |
Ain't that the truth! I think they'd have greater success if they tried to get more PC enthusiasts to buy PDAs than add gimmicks to try to lure the Cell Phone crowd. Yes, the PC enthusiast crowd is a smaller market, but if manufacturers could make the PDA an indispensible part of the PC then they'd make a lot more money than selling to 10 times more cell phone customers who refuse to spend more than $100 on a cell phone.
It's time for manufacturers to reconsider their whole target market.

EBay India exec arrested, granted bail, in camera phone scandal
" Avnish Bajaj, country manager of Baazee.com, owned by U.S. giant eBay Inc., was arrested last week under the Indian Information Technology Act after he was called in for questioning in Bombay, India's financial hub. ]
Justice Vikramjit Sen of the Delhi High Court directed Bajaj to surrender his passport and not leave India without the permission.
The images of the boy and 16-year-old girl, from an upmarket public school in New Delhi, caused a sensation in largely conservative India and sparked concern about the increasing use of camera phones by students. "
