Dell Home is currently selling its PDAs with an instant 10% discount. In other words, its current high-end model X50v would cost $449 instead of $499, including free shipping.

eBookwise, an affiliate of fictionwise, is a new commercial e-book store that sells e-books for Gemstar GEB 1150, GEB 2150, REB 1200, and GEB 2200 devices.

If you don't have a dedicated e-book reader yet, you can also buy their new reader eBookwise-1150 (a re-branded GEB 1150 device) for $99.95, which includes a $20 content bonus. Not a bad deal for a dedicated hardware reader with a viewable screen area about as big a paperback book. I would like to know if you consider buying this device!

I just checked one of my spam accounts, and found the following final death spike email:

Sony Electronics Inc. hereby announces pursuant to the CLIE(R) handheld Development Membership Agreement that the CLIE Handheld Developer Website and all related services shall terminate effective December 31, 2004. After this date, the CLIE Handheld Developer Website, Developer Tools, and related Services will no longer be available for use/download, and Sony shall provide no further support. Sony would like to thank to great number of dedicated developers who have supported the CLIE Handheld platform the past several years.

Worldwide Handheld Market Up Over 13 Percent (Brighthand)

According to Gartner Dataquest, shipments of Palm OS handhelds in the third quarter of 2004 were about 25 percent lower than the worst previous quarter since 1999.

Shipments of Palm OS handhelds are on track to decline about 23 percent this year, to about 4.4 million units.

This doesn't look good at all.
