market 05/03/2004 05:15 AM
Most PDA users were introduced to the device through the Palm OS, but Microsoft Corp.'s Windows CE .Net operating system family has pulled into a virtual tie with the pioneering PDA OS, according to first-quarter market share information from Gartner Inc. PDA vendors shipped 1.11 million units with the Palm OS in the first quarter, down 21 percent from the first quarter of 2003, said Todd Kort, principal analyst with Gartner. Shipments of Windows devices increased 4.6 percent from last year's first quarter to 1.10 million units.

Sony Retreats from US Palm PDA Market

Sony Retreats from US Palm PDA Market 06/01/2004 07:25 AM

Ill tidings for the Palm world as Sony announces they will be withdrawing the Clie line from the US at least throughout the end of the year. Though Sony intends to honor all warranty and service agreements and to continue selling Clie in Japan, the retreat from market by the only other major PalmOS vendor besides PalmOne will have profound repercussions across the entire PDA market, despite Sony's insistence this is a "re-grouping" and not a total withdrawal from the market. BargainPDA's editors offer their opinions, and I'll quickly add mine after the jump.

Microsoft catches them young in India

Microsoft catches them young in India 06/17/2005 03:46 PM

Microsoft has opened an IT academy in the southern Indian state of Karnataka where it will provide IT training for school teachers from across the state, it announced Friday.

Under an agreement signed with the state government, Microsoft will also set up two further academies in Karnataka. Over a five-year period it plans to train about 20,000 teachers and, indirectly, 400,000 school students. It will also create a localized IT curriculum for students and set up teacher and student scholarship programs. The first academy is Karnataka's Gulbarga district.

The curriculum is being developed at Microsoft's Redmond, Washington, headquarters with the help of Indian educational institutions and state governments, said a spokeswoman for Microsoft India.

"The focus is on IT training, although we do use Microsoft products," she said. Microsoft has also introduced an annual, subscription-based licensing program to reduce the cost of Microsoft desktop software offerings for primary and secondary school students.

The academy in Gulbarga was set up as part of Project Shiksha, which Microsoft introduced across the country in 2002. Backed by a US$20 million investment from the software maker, Project Shiksha aims to train 3.5 million students and 80,000 teachers in government schools by 2007. Microsoft has set up IT academies in a number of Indian states, and has so far trained more than 37,000 teachers and 1.8 million students across India.

The Indian federal government, as well as state governance, have declined to take a position favoring either open source or proprietary software in education and e-governance projects. Project Shiksha as well as Microsoft's involvement with several state government projects, may help to give the software maker a head start over Linux and other open-source software in these areas.

Forecasts for Higher Bandwidth Broadband
Services - New TFI Telecom Market
Research Report 12/17/2004 06:31 PM
According to a new report by Technology Futures, Inc. (TFI), by 2006, one-half of U.S. households will subscribe to broadband access, and a shift to much higher data rates in the range of 24 Mb/s to 100 Mb/s will have begun. By 2010, U.S. broadband penetration of 75% is likely, and 10% to 20% of U.S. households will subscribe to very high-speed-broadband. In the process, most of the local exchange carriers current investment in copper cable will be made obsolete.The new study, "Forecasts for Higher Bandwidth Broadband Services," authored by Lawrence K. Vanston, Ph.D. (President, TFI), forecasts how bandwidth requirements will increase over time and addresses the applications requiring higher speed. In doing so, it reviews what is happening in South Korea (where broadband penetration already exceeds 70%), Japan, and Italy - current leaders in the migration to higher data rates.
