Palm's Market Share Goes Up, Handspring's Goes Down
During August, Palm had 70.3% of the PDA market, an almost 10% increase over the previous month. During that same time, Handspring lost over 11% of its market share, dropping from 26.1% to 15.5%. This is the first month since the introduction of the Visor that Handspring has lost market share. Palm's big increase was caused by a surge of sales of the new m100.
Sales of the iPAQ brought COMPAQ all the way up to 6.6% of the market from 3.6% in July. Total sales of PocketPCs accounted for only 9.7% of the PDA market, up from 8.3%.
These figures were released by the reasearch firm NPD INTELECT.
