seems like dell has closed the PDA shop. http://digitimes.com/systems/
a20060801PR209.html

dell might get into smartphone market, but no such evidence ATM.
everyone in the PDA biz seems to have had problems since 1999. ok,
there was a golden era 1996-1998, but cmon - who really uses a PDA
today, when there are advanced cellphones?

speaking about smartphones .... oddly, i still think that NOS 3 would
be a kick-ass replacement for UIQ 3. there would just be some need
for HW button support and a slightly updated "calls" application and
some routing expansion .... i simply cant wait until paul and
einstein will get there :)
