Hello list,

Here's yet another article that contains a quote from an Apple
executive denying the return of an Apple PDA anytime soon. It's sad
news, but in reality, we all (should've) already known this.

127851994

For those who don't feel up to reading it, the quote reads: "Finally,
when asked if Apple may make a return to the PDA market through the
iPod, both Schiller and Rubenstein agreed that such a move "would not
be a good business for Apple."

Calling it a niche market, "basic functions of PDAs such as calendars
and address books have long been built into mobile phones," Schiller
explained. Similar functions have also been available on the iPod for
quite awhile now, Rubenstein said."
