Casio to market new PDAs abroad By Reuters staff 27 October 2000 KDDI- is cdma baby Casio Computer Co Ltd, Japan's largest digital wrist watch maker, said on Friday it will start supplying new personal digital assistants (PDAs) to major telecoms firms at home and abroad by December. Casio's PDA will be marketed through major foreign telecommunication companies such as Vodafone Airtouch Plc, Hutchison Telecom and DDI Corp, Japan's second-largest phone company more commonly known as KDDI, a Casio spokesman said. The PDA, jointly developed with Vodafone, is equipped with a small digital camera and runs on Microsoft Corp's Windows CE operating system. In Britain, Casio's PDA will be packaged with a cellular phone and is expected to sell for about 350 pounds ($500). Casio, which used to sell PDAs only in Japan, shipped 300,000 PDAs in the year to March 2000 and aims to more than triple its sales to one million units in 2001/02, the spokesman said. In September, Sony Corp entered the PDA market by introducing the CLIE priced at 55,000 yen ($508.1) for the colour display model, to compete with Palm, Handspring, Sharp and Casio.
