Palm Shipments Drop

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops (More info?)

In an article with a slighly inaccurate headline, MSNBC carries the AP
story about declining PDA sales.

Reading the story reveals some interesting details.

palmOne's shipments are down 9% to 3.7 million, from 4 million in 2003.

Sony's dropped to 419,000 from 1.4 million. (Sony pulled out of the US
market)

A very interesting note at the bottom:

"Shipments from other leading PDA makers, such as Hewlett-Packard Co.,
Dell Inc. and Medion AG, increased, but not enough to offset the overall
market's downward spiral.

"Those three companies all make PDAs that run Microsoft operating
systems."

So it appears that PalmOS sales are down, and Pocket PC sales are up;
that wouldn't have been as good of a headline, though.
