The Clie that wouldn't die...

The Regisiter has an article on Sony's possible return to the PDA space, but without Palm OS. Seems that Sony was annoyed with where PalmSource was going with Palm OS, and the struggles of maintaining two different OSes on their mobile devices weren't worth the effort (the Sony Ericsson P900 smartphone uses Symbian). Key quote from the article, and the biggest reason why if they do resurrect the Clie it will be Symbian-based rather than Windows Mobile: "Where there may be demand for PDAs lies in the boundary between data devices and voice devices: PDAs with WAN functionality. It's here that Sony might well decide that having two mobile OSes makes no sense, and it wants to rationalise it down to one."
