I wouldn't trust anything from Barrons. I stopped reading it about a year ago. The reporting is horrible. I don't think they ever understood the idea of Journalism. Present both sides of an issue. They basically kill or kiss ass (shock sells ads). In both cases you have to ignore the other side of a issue.

Someone on another thread ran down the Barron's articles and ripped them apart. I did not read the article. If the snippet you included is any indication, I would say it is the same old Barrons trash. A few examples:

Barrons indicates a serious problem because two "leaders" left a year ago. Barrons did not point out that without them sales have soared, color has been added, internet access has been added and the business has gained independence via IPO. I want that serious problem for my business.

The Barrons writer waves his hands in the air about 16 and 32 bit OS. Of course he gives no specific information because he probably couldn't write code if his life depended on it.

He then wants to compare Sony Playstations with Palm devices. What does a playstation have in common with a 2-way wireless internet device?

Sorry I don't have the url of the other comments from people that read the article. I think they were on Raging Bull. Barron's is worthless because you can't trust them to present both sides of an issue. Maybe it's the employment problem. Anybody that knows anything gets a job doing it.
