"Palm Inc. is still the leader is worldwide shipments, with 31.7% of the total.
This is an increase from the 28.8% it had in the third quarter of last year.
Palm shipped 808.8 thousand units during the quarter, a 7.2% annual increase.

With the restatement in the number of units HP shipped, Sony moves up to second
place. It had 13.5% of the market, making a huge jump up from 3.5% in the same
quarter in 2001. Its number of handhelds shipped increased 280% to about 345
thousand units.

HP is now in third place with 11.5% of the total, down from 12.1%. It shipped
292.9 thousand handhelds last quarter, a 7.9% decrease from the same quarter of
2001.

Toshiba is another company that saw huge growth in the last year. It shipped
144.3 thousand units during the third quarter, a 1,705% increase. That was
enough to put it in fourth place with 5.7% of the market.

In fifth place was Handspring, which now holds just 3.9% of the handheld
market."
