"Philips pulls the plug on Nino handheld" By Stephanie Miles Staff Writer, CNET News.com October 6, 1999, 6:25 p.m. PT Philips Electronics is discontinuing its Nino line of Windows CE-based handheld computers, another setback in Microsoft's battle to usurp the Palm Computing throne.

Nino never gained much of a following, even among devices running Windows CE, Microsoft's scaled-down operating system.
