The Buzz EETimes - June 29, 1998, TechWeb News Reading Palm: Analyst Jim Turley of the Microprocessor Report suggests that the Palm Pilot, now in 3Com Corp.'s hands, might have a chance against the onslaught of Windows CE handheld computers. A Macintosh-Windows comparison is tempting, as users love the Pilot and software development companies love the compatibility of Windows CE. So the key for the Pilot will be to keep its operating system open enough to counter Windows' power, Turley wrote in the company's "Embedded Processor Watch" report. "Keeping its own prices down and licensing PalmOS would likely fill the market with cost-competitive spin-offs. The increased market share could overwhelm Windows CE," Turley wrote. "Squeezing the maximum profit from each unit, as Apple did, would leave the back door open for Microsoft's minions to overtake Pilot's lead." techweb.com o~~~ O
