First it was a huge computer into a laptop now a PC in a mobile phone is avaliable.
Handheld market share in the US (2000)
'Palm OS: 78.8%
Windows CE/Pocket PC: 13.1%
Symbian/Epoc: 0.6%
Other: 7.5%

Mobile phone/PC are quite old now but the technology that is crammed into to them is gradually becoming a competition for the companies that make the phones such as internet, the gradually increasing camera megapixels etc.
Although, Microsoft has taken up until their 3rd series of PC/phone to actually get it right and ' In the past year, the Palm's stock has traded at an all-time low, and its sales between June and August slumped by 47%.'
Which suggests even though the gradually improving technology is becoming very good the mobile PC's are gradually getting less popular.
From my old blog of 'Laptops to sell out desktops' that stated that the reduction in size and increation of technology was good for computer and that the smaller the better but this blog shows that even though this is the most portable type of computer it still isn't proving to be popular at all.
