I'm getting the urge to add PDA's as a case in my projections spreadsheet ... anyone got any pointers to raw fundamentals?

- volume of PDA sales?
- actual and projected growth rates?
- types of batts currently used in PDAs (type, size, trends)?
- PDA batt cost and price?

Going forward to 2003, I have cellphones creating the largest share of revenues ... but, by 2003, will there BE any difference between a PDA and a phone? ;-)

Even today, if I smash a PalmPilot into my cellphone, I get something not much bigger and WAY more useful.

How shall the projections reflect this trend? We could ignore PDA's as a class, subsuming them under cellphone growth. This seems reasonable to me for the long-term view, considering that individuals will prefer a single unit for the most part, when and if available.

In some senses, batteries map more to people than devices.
