PDA Sales Fall for Third Year in Row
A reader writes "Reports ZDNet
on how PDA sales have slipped for a third year in a row now at a five-year low." Anyone have numbers for sales of cell phones? My cell phone has almost every piece of functionality I got from my PDA 3 years ago. Plus a crappy camera. Still no dice roller.
I have been in ukraine for around half a year now and can say this, if cell phone sales are skyrocketing its the Russians doing it. In a country where the average income per year if a littl less that 500 US dollars at least 90% of the population that I see not only have cell phones, but never stop using them. I personally can't see spending a 5th of my income for the year on a phone but then again I wasn't born here. If scientists discover in 10 years that cellphones cause cancer it will be because Ukraine has turned into one giant tumor.

This guy I used to work for used his iPaq to make him appear to be constantly busy. He refused to turn off the crazy sounds because its sole purpose was to inflate his perceived importiance to the organization. Beep! I'm importiant. Buzz, got 1000 things to do!
This is the same guy who came into every meeting jabbering on his cell phone before saying, "I've got to go, I'm in a meeting. I'll get back to you", slamming down a huge briefcase full of worthless printouts and filtering through them before settling down and pronouncing, "Ok, let's begin."
He was a master among masters. Never did anything, but his bosses deemed him invaluable.
