Excerpt:

PalmSource is aggressively improving the Palm OS. It already has 87% of retail
sales in the United States and sells about twice as many handhelds in the
Enterprise market as Microsoft does. Expect PPC's share to drop back to single
figures. Especially during the burst of sales caused by Palm users upgrading to
the new operating system.

The PPC won't go away. Microsoft has tons of money to pour into it and hates to
admit it has failed at anything. But any other company would see the writing on
the wall and drop it.

There are still plenty of "experts" who are predicting that the Pocket PC will
take over the lead from the Palm OS in a few years. Keep in mind, though, these
are the same people who have been predicting the same thing for years. Every
year, they move back the year that Microsoft will take over.
