InfoWorld correspondent Robert X. Cringely® recently brought up the upcoming Dell PDA in his "Notes from the field" column: "A Dell executive told my spy that Dell will be introducing PDAs later this year. Although that has been previously reported, my spy did manage to get out of the exec that Dell will issue a handheld running embedded Windows XP with some voice-command functions. Expect it around Christmas, the spy said." (Source Foo Fighter)
True or false? Will Dell go niche and go with Windows Embedded or will Dell stay true to their volume and mainstream business model and go with Windows CE and Pocket PC? I'll eat my hat if Dell does not go with the latter. Mr. Cringley is wrong, I believe.
