From my experience whenever a lot of 3Com product news starts hitting the wires then a warning is close by. Call it band-aids for an amputated limb or whatever it only helps as much. -hitesh

3Com (COMS) officers said Tuesday the company will be the leader in handheld devices through its palm products. "I think Palm will be the platform of the new millennium," said Janet Roberts, company vice president of global marketing and business development, who displayed the company's new handheld Palm VII. It is expected to be released this summer. She told money managers at the BancBoston Robertson Stephens conference that she believes the company has the only profitable handheld business today and had pushed handheld personal digital assistants as a high-growth, profitable market. 3Com's share ofthe U.S. handheld market is in the mid 70 percent range, while worldwide share is in the low 40 percent area. Roberts said the company needs to enter the Asian market "in a big way." I got this info from CBS Marketwatch about COMS from the conference. Any other news out there? Did they say anything about how this quarter was going??? Rob
