1. It's closer to a 10% market share by unit volume.
2. Palmsized-PCs have had nearly that high a market share in previous years.
3. In Dec 2000, after Pocket PC had been out or 7-8 months, PPC market share
   was lower than the Palmsized PC market share had been in Dec 1999.
4. Microsoft has actually been doing handhelds since Pen Windows came out in
   1993.

The new PPC 2002 looks interesting, though. I should be able to have one to
evaluate at some point, and I'm looking forward to it.
