PDAs 6X More Expensive Then You Think
from the the-glass-is-half-full dept
GartnerGroup, causing problems as always, is now saying that a $500 PDA really will cost $2700 when they apply all sorts of silly other costs to the matter, and claim it's a big problem for IS departments to deal with. While this may be somewhat true, it (of course) ignores any productivity gains that such devices give to people.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
