Default Smartphones Affecting PDA Sales
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/pcworld/20040427/tc_pcworld/115879

"Analysts have been warning PDA vendors for several quarters that consumers and business customers have lost their taste for stand-alone PDAs that manage contacts and calendar information. Instead, high-end buyers are increasingly intrigued by new cell phones that have improved personal information management capability or smart phones that combine a cell phone with a powerful PDA operating system such as PalmSource's Palm OS or Microsoft's Windows Mobile, Linsalata says."

What do you think? Is the recent slump in PDA sales related to the smartphones? Pocket PC Thoughts recently reported that Coca-Cola purchased 28,000 Pocket PC based devices. Data input would be the main reason they didn't choose a smartphone solution. IMHO, there will always be a need for separate devices and this slump is only temporary.
