Garmin Discontinues GPS-Enabled Pocket PCs
Posted by Darius Wey in "NEWS" @ 11:00 AM
"Garmin has discontinued its last two Windows Mobile-based devices, leaving it with just a single GPS-enabled handheld, the Palm OS-based iQue 3000. After gradually building up a fairly large portfolio of models since 2003, the company has been whittling away at its line-up of handhelds in the last few months. Most recently, the iQue M3 and iQue M4 were added to Garmin's list of discontinued devices, which means it no longer offers any Pocket PCs."
According to a report at Brighthand, Garmin has discontinued almost all of its GPS-enabled PDAs, leaving just the Palm OS-based iQue M3000 as the remaining current model. It's not the end of the world, though. There are many other companies offering GPS-enabled Pocket PCs and Pocket PC Phones, so your choices definitely aren't limited.
