Comments on: IDC Lowers Predicted Handheld Sales
IDC also now says that Pocket PC will not take away as much of Palm's share of the U.S. market as it had previously thought. It sees Microsoft's handheld OS with 15% to 25% of the market by the end of the year.

Palm OS will continue to dominate the market through 2005
We hear from a lot of people predicting that the Palm OS will be swept away by the Microsoft juggernaught in the near future, I just wanted to make sure that as many people as possible noticed that a major industry analyst had predicted that the Palm OS will continue to dominate the market through at least 2005.
That gives Palm Inc. plenty of time to come out with OS 5 and ARM chips. Ignore what the doomsayers and PPC-trolls say, the Palm OS will continue to dominate the market through at least 2005.
p.s. The Palm OS will continue to dominate the market through at least 2005.
RE: Palm OS will continue to dominate the market through 2005
It is unlike a desktop computer, we can't just simply ungrade the OS, the fact is you need to give up your old PPC or HPC and buy a new one! This is the reason I still stick by the Palm Vx.

IDC = Inaccurate Definition of Consulting
Pocket PC to overtake Palm... Why not? Depends on how much Microsoft entertains IDC staff...
Having worked with them, I know how much crap they accept to digest in order not to offend their big customers...
You start wondering if they ever really look at their market surveys...
And then all the sudden their projections are so far off from reality that they admit that they goofed...
