DJ, When is Dell going to come up with something like an IPAQ that CPQ offers? We are seeing why that device is popular..Windows based and Word/Excel. They should do well in the wireless device or portable PC market given such a strong brand name. Maybe move a little closer to the handset makers territory as they (cell phone companies) will surely get closer to offering devices that are similiar to PCs. Dell has the opportunity to put Microsoft Office on a device as long as it has a Windows operating system. That is where it would differ from NOK, ERICY, Motorola as they don't plan to use Windows CE. The business customers will select the Windows based device because primarily due to Microsoft Office. A Palm pilot is not much more than a good organizer while the IPAQ type of device has real business uses. That is why I find it hard to understand why Dell has not launched something similiar.
