Orphaned PDA
One of the worst things that can happened to a company is having to give up a product. The term orphaned PDA comes in when the company no longer supports that PDA. A lot of buyers consider this as a no buy signal, but there are a certain hardy group of people who are looking for such a device. Looking at ebay, people brave enough and are still buying a PSION REVO, a PDA which has been abandon by PSION for a quit some time.
Today the same events are happening, companies are giving up great products due to low sales or from investors giving up on the company. When Tapwave recently closed their doors on their first and only product the Zodiac, a big drop in prices were giving people reasons to buy of what was left in the market. In fact people are more excited about all the great value offerings that I dont think retail stores will have any problems getting rid of any old stock they have.
The Zodiac is a great device comparable to the PALM T5 and even carries half its price tag. A word of warning to any Orphaned PDA buyer, Tapwave no longer supports this product and that means customer support and warranty should not be expected.
