any idea about Sl6000 sales figures in USA ?
« on: August 05, 2004, 11:00:04 pm »
Has anyone ever read something about how well (or most probably badly) the SL-6000 sales is doing in the US of A ?

I know corporate sales are hard to coroborate - but there must be some measuring benchmarks.
New no more-C1000 / 5000D (sold my 6000 and 750) | Cacko ROM 1.23 on C1000 | 256 MB CF | 2GB PNY SD card | Socket Networker WiFi CF Card | USB Host cable from StreamlineCPUS | Mini Microphone (for voice recording) |

Here is what Gartner says for 1Q2004:

http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS3179788164.html

52,300   Linux PDAs worldwide (I would assume 95% Sharp, 5% Yopy unless they have counted the Asian smartphones with Linux inside as well)

And Canalys for 2Q2004:

http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT8941987592.html

114,700 Linux PDAs worldwide

My rough guess would be that Sharp sells 70% in Japan 20% in USA and 10% in EU as they have all models in their home market Japan, the 5600&6000 in USA and only the 5500 in EU.
