The rugged netpad devices have garnered 15% of the netpad's sales although the devices have been out for only a few months. Raf Jezierski, director of mobile computing Psion Teklogix international, has even said that he believes the WinCE devices will have captured 50% of the market within one year.
The high demand for these devices has been caused by more than simple desire for Microsoft products. The high demand is being fueled by the move towards the .Net architecture. When Microsoft said that .Net emcompassed everything I had no idea that they were including their cometitors products as well.
Does this move indicate a shift in thinking at Teklogix? Is it possible that we'll soon see a Teklogix device shipping with Pocket PC or WIndows Powered Smartphone OS?
