We've almost hit bottom pricing in the handheld market as Palm's Zire will sell for $US 99. Though the Zire is basic, it won't take a lot to begin adding features so that anyone who wants a fully functional wireless internet device (audio phone services optional) can afford one. The rush will now begin to start selling subscriber services through these things - expect a peak sometime in 2004 with a crash late that year and a wide range of low-cost wireless services to become mainstream in 2005.
