PDA’s being replaced by Smartphones – Why not in Canada?
CNet has an article titled Molly to handhelds: just die, already.
It makes the point that the Palm operating system is being overtaken by the Windows Pocket PC system. I have used both, and prefer the Pocket PC (or Windows Mobile) system.
The second point is that the pda market will decline rapidly as those functions are being built into smartphones.
I agree with that too – but there is a problem – smartphone products are not yet available in Canada.
The Audiovox SMT5600 mentioned in the article, for example, is GSM and should be useable on the Rogers cell network.
Its frustrating that we can’t yet get those – and seems odd for a country that is among the leading countries in the adoption of communications technology.
