Macworld has an article this morning detailing the IDC report indicating that PDA sales returned to double digit growth in fourth quarter of last year. They attribute most of the growth to newer, low cost units and bundled software.
IDC senior analyst Tim Mui said: "A consumer market drawn to attractive low-cost pocket PC offerings and a renewed interest in mobile solutions from large and medium enterprises helped pocket PC devices to overtake Palm OS-based products in 2003." Andrew Brown, program manager for mobile devices at IDC said: "The healthy double-digit growth of the handheld market in both the forth quarter 2003 and for 2003 overall suggests that by pricing aggressively and offering attractive bundles such as GPS navigation systems it is possible for vendors to stimulate growth in the handheld market by creating demand through innovative marketing."
Were you part of the growth? (i.e. did you buy a Pocket PC last quarter?)
