Handhelds make a comeback
Handheld computer shipments broke the one million mark for the first time in Europe last quarter, despite the dire predictions of industry observers

European shipments of handheld computers broke the one-million mark for the first time during the last quarter of 2003, while smartphone shipments topped two million, according to research from Canalys published on Monday.

The rise in sales shows that there is more life in the data-centric handheld market than some had predicted, partly due to the popularity of features such as GPS navigation, and a rise in corporate spending, Canalys said. Hewlett-Packard was one of the main beneficiaries of stronger corporate sales, and consolidated its position as the leader in data-centric handhelds with 32.9 percent of the European market, according to Canalys' research.
