The failure of industrial Personal Digital Assistant products

Most companies were already working on this technology by early 1990s and it was expected that by the end of the year 2004, most or these programs would be in operation all over the world.  Despite the struggle by 1994, numerous PDA companies had drained their funds due to under development and confusion in the market. A few companies managed to specialize in industrial devices as well as palm computation thus generating streamlined PDA systems.

More so in 2003, the striking advent of the smartphones arrived in the market among strong business rivals like the Nokia, Samsung and the Ericson. This caused the sale of PDA systems to drop considerably and by the end of 2006, the smartphones made over 13,000,000 sales. Another reason for the failure was incorrect market entry time the faster and timely the entry, the better for the business (Slashdot.org, n.d).

In addition to this, another problem was the source of power for the PDA systems which needed the merging of some companies to use their inexhaustible levels of hydrogen. However, this was not possible for the PDA companies.

There is also a hitch felt when one thinks of innovativeness in enabling a certain technology. It requires one to think of the consumer promptly. For example, the competitors came up with better and mature technologies to generate long lasting rechargeable phone batteries enabling timely entry in the market (Slashdot.org, n.d.).

It was not even possible to strike as high as it was expected even after the redesigning of the PDA products. However, the market is not totally collapsed although it some times stagnates. There is a great need for the PDA companies to do appropriate market research in order to try and capture the most interesting consumer needs and upgrade production strategies.
