Friday May 06, 2005 Hey, hey, PDA. Java will save the day.
PDAs are staging a comeback, but it's the wireless e-mail connected ones that now survive. Perfect platform for a J2ME CDC technology based OS and GUI. See: RIM BlackBerry (the one that will have Java technology based OS) up 76% Q1 2005 Quote from article: "Research in Motion now has 20.8 per cent of the market. Palm's market share fell to 18 per cent, its lowest since 1996, and HP came in third at 17.6 per cent."Palm is dying. HP iPAQ is going bye-bye also. Two big money-losers. Keep your eye on J2ME CDC-based PDAs and high-end cell phone/smartphoes though, like the RIM BlackBerry as it evolves to use Java to abstract the commodity hardware platform it runs on. |
