CNet: Sprint backpedals on Handspring add-on
My spin:I don't know if I'd call this the first nail in Handspring'c coffin, and I sure hope not, but if there's less than 1,000 people using the Digital Link, can we assume that there's not that many people wanting wireless access on their PDAs? Sure, wireless will take off - RIM (maker's of the 2-way Blackberry pagers) is doing well and other wireless use is only going to go up. But remember, only the strong can survive in the tough tech market place
When Sprint introduced the Digital Link last year, it boasted that the device, which turns a Handspring Visor into a cell phone, would be upgradable to the carrier's new network. (full story)
