Mark: Saraide.com is new to me. Will see what I can find.

What is most interesting is that even though there is supposed to be "one standard" with 3 flavors of CDMA as the 3rd gen wireless. The old GSM vs CDMA split seems very evident in the press.

So far the vast majority of "articles" seem to be merely printing handouts, with an intro and conclusion sometimes, from the old camps. This one is from the GSM side. Zero mention or information re the CDMA side or MSFT either.

Long long way to go in "convergence" and the handheld battle is clearly just getting strongly underway with the Europeans vs US companies, Psion vs WinCE vs Palm, etc. and on and on.

That the media is so dependent on one or the other side for info is sad. I have yet to find and publication or "media" outlet which reports objectively on the competing systems for handhelds/phones. Would very much appreciate a link to one if someone has found such an animal. Chaz

PS This thread is the most useful spot I have found for some balanced information and analysis.
