$80??? How about a fast $40? A move to $35 would be nice! Monday's Top Stories Sales of Windows handhelds jump Compiled by CBS MarketWatch Last Update: [Timestamp] HONG KONG (CBS.MW) -- Sales of handheld computing devices using Microsoft Corp.'s (MSFT: news, msgs) Windows CE system are expected to exceed those of 3Com Corp.'s (COMS: news, msgs) Palm machines in Asia as early as this year, market-research firm International Data Corp. Asia Pacific predicted. China will be the driving force behind Windows CE-based palmtops in the region, with a number of major personal-computer manufacturers pushing the gadget in the country, said Frederique Jacquot, IDC Asia Pacific's senior market analyst. Windows CE is a simpler version of Microsoft's dominant Windows operating system. "The China market should take off in 1999," she predicted, noting that handhelds using the Chinese Windows CE system were introduced only toward the end of 1998. In the first research report on handheld computing devices in the region excluding Japan, Jacquot forecast that the market will exceed three million units by 2003, which translates into $1.4 billion in revenue.
