[The PDA Rebooted Editorial]

[palmnews]

A new editorial piece (http://www.1src.com/headlines/show/002037.html) on the current state of the PDA market has been posted by 1src columnist Alan Grassia. Grassia's piece begins with a brief history of the modern handheld (nee PDA/organizer) market before highlighting some of the more recent attempts at handheld devices that are essentially PDA-type machines that tout drastically different core functions and branding, such as the Sony’s recently refreshed Mylo line (http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-645730-10472166), Apple's iPod Touch (http://palminfocenter.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=48019690) and the Nokia Internet Tablets (http://palminfocenter.pricegrabber.com/search.php?form_keyword=nokia+tablet&topcat_id=2&Search=Go). Of course, Hewlett Packard's recent efforts to rekindle the market have seen two new iPaq units (http://palminfocenter.pricegrabber.com/search.php?form_keyword=HP+ipaq&topcat_id=1&Search=Go) that pack about every conceivable feature into a classic PDA form factor as well as "Travel Companions" that are little more than conventional handhelds with gigs of internal storage and an emphasis on integrated GPS functionality. The editorial is relatively brief but manages to nicely summarize the short but tumultuous history of the PDA market as well as the feelings of the majority of "classic" Palm OS handheld fans who are desperately awaiting new product from Palm.
