I've heard PDA (PPC) sales are shrinking. WHY??
They are powerful offering GPS maps, PDF, Compact office apps, emails, programming in the Compant Framework, SQL Server CE, etc etc. Media Player 10 with MP3 (lots of codecs), Jpegs, MPEG 1,4 video, etc.
These featues are WAY beyond all MP3 players. But, the hard-drive based MP3 player sales are growing fast.
Why do PPCs come with a 128meg flash drive? Why not a 40 Gig 1.8" drive?? Example. The Archos AV480 has a larger 80 Gig 2.5" drive and the device is still small and slim (while able to record video Directly to HIGH-RES Mpeg4).
It seems just adding a (much) larger HD to a PPC will make all the difference. I don't think it makes sense to compare PDAs with cell phones. (the screen of phones suck because the device is so small)
Does this make sense or I am just blowing hot air?
thanks!
