Fujitsu Siemen Drop To PDA,GPS Gadget

FS currently offers a range of handhelds under its Pocket Loox brand, the line-up divided into traditional PDAs with integrated GPS and Wi-Fi, and Blackberry-style devices with integrated phones and email-friendly micro-keyboards.

An FS spokeswoman last week confirmed an earlier report from German trade paper Channel Partner that the company will quit the market this year.

Demand for PDAs is in decline, and FS expects smartphones to deliver all the functionality once provided solely by wireless handelds.
