Toshiba says no more Pocket PCs for the US
Are you sitting down? Good. Because we have some bad news and some worse news. The bad news is that the e830,
Toshiba's new flagship Pocket PC, is definitely not coming out here in the States ever. The worse news is that this also spells the end of the line for Toshiba's handheld division—they're pulling out the American market entirely and have zero plans to release another PDA here anytime soon. This leaves HP as the only manufacturer selling a significant number of Pocket PCs here in the US and you gotta wonder how long even they'll keep putting out handhelds out without any sort of cellular capability (at least, in the numbers that they have been). The cold hard reality is that sales of PDAs are flat while smartphones are all zoom zoom.
