from the everyone-should-read-this dept. A CNN news reports that " Palm faces stiff competition from Microsoft in the market for handheld computers, but the challenge is welcome, says the company's president. Speaking one day after Microsoft launched the Pocket PC -- competing in the market now dominated by the Palm -- Alan Kessler said that the future of such computing will develop much differently from PCs, where Microsoft has had most of its success. In a keynote address here at Spring Comdex, Kessler said the keys to success lie in the untapped market beyond middle-age businessmen who now comprise about half of Palm's 6 million users, and in vertical markets that have special application needs.
