Interesting. On the Sony Eriksson web site, there is a technology video (in the archives) that states that 400 million new cell phones by the end of 2005 will have the symbian OS on them, world wide (by all manufacturers). That sounds substantial. And how many Palms are there. I saw an article back in Jan that palm OS 3 and 4 represented, at that time, 20 million units. OS 5 units were less than a million it went on. Sorry, cant remember the source on that one. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Gary Gorsline Easy Business Software ========================== End of Message ==========================
