individual Computers acquires ami.ga
After many months and a lot of effort for a new domain name, we received good news today: You can now reach our website under ami.ga.

The toplevel-domain server of the Republic of Gabon was not always online in the past week, so the new name might not be available all over the world immediately. This problem should be solved in a couple of hours, after the caches of local name servers have been updated. (ps)

HP Leads the Sales Charts for the Pocket PC Market Segment
Hewlett-Packard is at the top of Pocket PC sales charts, with 3 million IPAQs sold so far worldwide. HP was also able to begin this great success in the PDA market in 2002. As the worldwide #1 in the Windows Pocket PC market HP has reached a market share of 52 percent, according to previous statistics from Gartner Dataquest.

These numbers show a steady growth in market share by HP for all four quarters in the last year, thereby remaining the second largest producer of PDAs worldwide. According to the figures from Gartner HP sold about 1.6 million units in the last year. From the third to the fourth quarter HP clearly grew more quickly than the market in general, with sales growing from 292,850 in the third quarter to 438,069 in the fourth.

From there HP was able to break the three million mark and show a thoroughly successful result of their post-merger plans. The three million milestone was reached nine months after the two million milestone, which came eight months after the merger with Compaq was finalized.

HP introduced an innovation in handhelds in November 2002 - the HP iPAQ Pocket PC H5450 was the first to have biometric security functions, wireless LAN networking capabilities and Bluetooth functionality. (nba) (Translation: dm)
