New Low-Price Palm Soon in Japan
C|net Singapore is reporting that Palm will introduce a lower-priced model in Japan this year to reach teenagers as part of its plan to gain a majority share in the Japanese handheld PC market. They will introduce a model priced under 25,000 yen (US$230), about half the cost of present models, to expand its customers beyond business people in Japan.
No details about the handheld were given. (Could this be the Japanese version of the rumored Calvin? -Ed)
Palm sells the Palm IIIc for 49,800 yen (US$458) and Palm Vx for 41,800 (US$385) yen in Japan. The Japanese-language version of Visor costs 29,800 yen ($275).
Katsushi Shiga, a principal analyst at Dataquest, a unit of Gartner Group Japan KK, describded the device as "a Visor killer".
