Lower Priced Pocket PCs Will Change PDA Landscape

"The history of geopolitical conflicts is filled with examples of rival governments uniting against common enemies during wartime. It also happens all the time in tech. The latest involves turf wars over personal digital assistants. Dell entered the fray Monday, joining forces with longtime Lone Star State adversary Compaq (now part of Hewlett-Packard) in Microsoft's Pocket PC platoon. This brigade is out to wrest territory from Palm."
I really wonder if it weren't for the rumors of the Dell Axim back this summer if we would have the HP iPAQ 1910 and ViewSonic V35 at the price points they are coming out at. In any event, it is going to be good for the consumer. This USA Today article reprinted at Yahoo goes over each of these devices and contrasts them to each other and to some of the new Palm OS devices hitting the streets. Let the battle begin! :)
