Sony to Stop Producing Clie's
Big news in the PDA world today is that Sony is announcing that they do not have any plans to continue making Clie devices in the future. The way they are wording the announcement is that they might consider producing them again in the future, but not anytime soon. It appears that Sony is trying to streamline their operations and that would only make sense to discontinue at least the Clie or their smartphone line since the two products compete with each other in many ways. And the smartphone market has a much better sales potential.
This news is being reported at many sites such as Sony Exits U.S. Handheld Market and Sony to Suspend Clie Handheld Line. Unfortunately, ClieSource does not have any annoucement yet on this as the site has been down for the past weekend as some major changed are being made. The forum software is being updated to the newer vBulletin 3.01 and there is also a major change as a result of this announcement by Sony. It seems the updates are taking longer than planned as ClieSource was supposed to be back up before the Sony announcement, but hopefully it will soon be ready.
