How Does The Mobile Devices Division in Microsoft Stack Up?
About once a quarter, I'll post the financial results of one of the Pocket PCs competitors, usually Palm. It is easy to do because Palm is a stand alone company. Microsoft, on the other hand, is more of a big conglomerate of technology items. Picking the Pocket PC performance out of that can be like trying to highlight just the letter "i" with your stylus.
The Mobile Devices division of Microsoft is generating more quarterly revenue than PalmSource, even more so when you consider PalmSource has non-OS revenue from ebook sales, though I don't know what that number is. Now, according to a CNET article the Mobile Device division lost $33M on that $17M in sales. Contrast that to the $6M PalmSource lost on $15M in sales. Again, it isn't totally apples to apples here for several reasons.
