Windows CE: Build costs hamper prospects The most successful handheld device thus far is a small computer sans keyboard that fits in a shirt pocket and which fully configured - with only 1 Mbyte of memory - costs about $350. Palm Pilot from 3Com Corp.'s U.S. Robotics subsidiary uses handwriting recognition and (like Windows CE and other handheld devices) is designed to exchange data with a client desktop or notebook computer. Measuring about 3 in. x 0.5 in. x 5 in., the Palm Pilot is the exception to the rule in the handheld market. While sales information on this line is hard to come by, the 3Com/U.S. Robotics offering is predicted to have an installed base of about 1 million units by year's end, five times the size of Microsoft's vaunted Windows CE family. Furthermore, the Palm Pilot has been so successful that Microsoft is readying a competitive hardware specification based on Windows CE 2.0 that will make its appearance in the first half of 1998. techweb.com o~~~ O
