pending entry into the handheld market in conjunction with Microsoft's launch of Windows Mobile 2003, JVC originally planned to introduce two multimedia-oriented Pocket PC models with powerful specifications. Shortly after its announcement, however, JVC cancelled the introduction of the two models, supposedly in favour of next-generation models already in development at the time.
Now it appears that JVC has halted all further development of PDA products, as a spokesperson today confirmed to infoSync World that the manufacturer has postponed its plans for the handheld market 'indefinitely'. In doing so, JVC joins Gateway, which also announced it would introduce a Pocket PC at the same time as JVC, but later dropped its plans citing a limited launch window and company-wide reorganization.">
