PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless Recent news has covered the release of many new smart phones. We have the new Treo650, the new Sony P910, the new Audiovox PPC 6000, the new Blackberry 7100, and the new Nokia 6670. Recently, I've been speaking via email almost daily with my AT&T (now Cingular) rep. For some reason, the conversation always steers towards his wanting to push the latest from Nokia, Blackberry, etc.

RE: Treo and Palm will make up ground

Yes, that's pretty much what I said above. The NY Times, in their Monday business section has a roundup of leading movies, software, Cd's, etc. In the hardware section they rotate once a week on a monthly basis. This week it's cell phones and PDA's. The numbers have changed again.

Cells

24.4% Samsung
21.8% Nokia
17.2% Motorola
16.1% LG Electronics
06.6% Kyocera

Samsung has come from almost nowhere a year ago, and has steadily, month by month gone up in share.

PDA's

66.6% Palm
19.7% HP
07.3% Sony
04.3% Toshiba
00.5% ViewSonic

While the #5 spot has always been up for grabs, Palm's share has been steady. Sony, which used to be #2 has stopped selling new model Palm PDA's here in the states, so their share is down. Hp is up a little.
