PDA Market Faces Steep Decline
"The traditional PDA is heading for significant declines in sales, and in fact is nearing the end of its life as a major product segment, according to In-Stat (http://www.in-stat.com). Shipments reached only 8.7 million units in 2004, down from 10 million in 2003, the high-tech market research firm says. The outlook for upcoming years is not good, as the PDA market will have a negative Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of -21.5% during the 2004-2009 period."
This isn't really new news but half way through this article is the mention of PDA vendors making devices to target smartphone users. We have already seen this coming as well. They know we want an all-in-one device but it is obvious they don't know what to make yet judging by what's on the market now.
