A little known fact is that, as a result of the hp/Compaq merger, the Office Max chain of stores will soon be dropping the Handspring line of PDAs and replacing the space with iPAQs.
Until now the availability of PPCs has been rather sporadic at O-Max stores with the Jornadas and Casios being only being available at certain select locations or via special order. Now the iPAQs will take the display spot beside the Palm devices allowing the customers the broadest range of solutions for their needs. Can a full array of accessories on those lovely little pegs be far behind? The army of silver beauties should appear on the shelves mid-August.
So the Pocket PC is finally gaining "mindshare" in the eyes of the rather conservative environment of retail purchasing departments. Will we soon be seeing PPCs at Target? After all the original iPAQ was available through Sears.
