"With its initial entry into the handheld market, ViewSonic has fired the first of what will likely be many shots in the Pocket PC price wars. After playing with the new Pocket PC V35 for the past few days, I'm not sure what I find more impressive: the device's $299 price, or the fact that ViewSonic has delivered such an excellent PDA at that price."
The author, Josh Taylor, also goes into reasons why this price point will really drive the Pocket PC market - many of the same reasons we have already discussed in the $199 Dell Pocket PC thread. Perhaps he read this site before wrapping up his article. :) It is great that Pocket PCs are coming in at the sub $300 range but quality was a concern for me. It seems ViewSonic has that covered though. Source: Jeff Curtin
