Looks like Sony is getting out of the consumer PDA business by dropping the Sony Clie line.  Since it runs Palm OS I don't think it's such a big deal ;) I never did like developing Palm apps.   What does concern me is only 10Million PDAs where shipped in 2004 (according to IDC) but Gartner is saying it was over 12Million; either way it's still low it think.  Hopefully prices for Microsoft PDAs and Smartphones come down in price so they can be more competative because $400 for a phone is pretty steep for the average consumer.
