That is interesting. What do you do if you fail to keep your leadership in one segment? You simply create a new one! PalmOne lost it with PDAs and smartphones; now we have the "mobile manager" device, for which, surprise surprise, PalmOne has a 100% market share. Sorry my sarcasm but I think this is a pathetic move. As if differentiating between PDA and smartphone isn't enough, we really don't need PalmOne introducing a third type of device!
