Heard this second hand from an NI week attendee to the PDA meeting.
Sony has decided to focus on PDA phones and HP is following suit. PDA's with PCMCIA support will be few and far between. Some industrial companies will continue to make ruggedized PDA's with card slots but they will be in the $2K - $3K range.
Takes all the fun out of creating applications for what was a $300.00 device. :thumbdown:
Pure PDA's obsolete?

I'm hearing now that HP has reconsidered, perhaps in light of the business coming its way from LV PDA pioneers, since its seems the HP iPAQ is the only thing on the market that can be made to accommodate 2 PCMCIA cards.
