| Summer's Coming...and so are the New Handhelds Article Contents | |
|
|
Summer is typically a slow time for handhelds. However, this year summer is shaping up to be anything but slow. An incredible number of handhelds are in the wings, including more than a dozen Palm OS and Pocket PC models.
With so many handhelds expected to be released in just the next couple of months, it can be difficult to keep track of all of them. So we've put together a tracking chart that lists each of the handhelds we expect to be released before the end of the summer. The chart includes some basic information about each model as well as a link you can follow to learn more about that device.
