Rattling and croaking in the clear
Take your pick trout or redfish
CORPUS CHRISTI - Springtime is for scratching.
To some, spring marks the start of insect season, when fair weather and rain bring out the bugs. To others with itchy eyes and itchy noses, it's hay fever season, when buds bloom and pollen flies.
But to anglers it's anything but clear. Many are split on which itch to scratch. Some have the urge to shell out more scratch than is reasonable for the thump-and-run thrills of trout fishing with croaker, while other anglers prefer scratching a bay surface at dawn with the dangling trebles of a topwater plug.
And rarely shall the two meet. But I think it's fair to say, comparatively speaking, there is less biting and scratching today over the controversial use of this live bait once referred to as trout candy or trout cocaine.
Most of the anti-croaker flags have faded, along with much of the incendiary and self-righteous rhetoric surrounding croaker. Some hard-liners still believe the use of the bait is poisoning our fragile trout population, while others think they tend to limit the potential of our trophy trout fishery.
Texas Parks & Wildlife consistently and repeatedly has denounced the former. The department's research and surveys show an overall healthy trout population, with no indication of impact from croaker use.
On top of this, Texas' once-declining croaker population is enjoying an upturn from Galveston northward, which continues today. The only explanation I could provide for this is the decline in bay shrimping effort from economic hardship, limited entry and the license buyback program.
TPW's Mark Fisher said we have plenty of croaker in our southern bays, but stocks are steady rather than increasing. State shrimping rules allow bay/bait trawlers to keep 1,500 live croaker per day from May 1 through Sept. 30. The remainder of the year, they still could catch croaker if they wanted, but generally they're too big or too small for bait shops. Offseason regulations allow shrimpers to keep a variety of bait products, including finfish, but not more by weight than 50 percent of their total daily take.
TPW's position on croaker as bait does not suggest angling pressure is incapable of impacting a fishery. Few doubt the combined impacts of shrimping bycatch and wholesale gigging during annual flounder migrations helped fuel the long-neglected flatfish decline in Texas.
And most anglers, along with biologists willing to speculate, agree the 25-inch statewide trout rule combined with the five-trout limit south of the Landcut has improved trout fishing — with a marked improvement in big trout catching — near Port Mansfield, Port Isabel and South Padre. Before the five-trout restriction, state biologists concluded a persistent dip in the midclass trout population there could only have been caused by angler harvest. Spawning success, good recruitment and healthy juvenile stocks in the lower coast left no other reasonable explanation. Most questions regarding the cause have been answered by today's rebounding angling success in the Lower Laguna.
There is an ongoing movement outside of TPW to extend the five-trout rule statewide. But last year, more than 1,200 anglers submitted comments to the department on whether to change trout regulations. They were split 49 percent to 51 percent, with 608 favoring some kind of change and 621 favoring the status quo.
Within the group that favored change, 52 percent suggested a five-fish daily bag. TPW commissioners decided to keep the 10-fish limit, at least for a while. I'm fairly certain a change will come as fishing pressure steadily increases.
But don't expect a ban on croaker. TPW does not manage our fisheries by outlawing a bait.
It wasn't clear this past week what kind of fishing plan would unfold when I stepped off the Marker 37 Marina dock onto the deck of Aaron Loomis' sleek Blazer Bay skiff. But a quick glance at the rod holders revealed lightweight baitcasting tackle, each loaded with a shiny Rapala Skitter Walk or MirrOlure She Dog topwater plug.
It was good to know Floresville anglers Nick Carter and David Strozier were willing to engage in a little surface action down south.
Our plan was to search for green water, knowing that a persistent brown tide algae bloom had been annoying anglers from not far south of the JFK Causeway to Baffin Bay. Most folks I've spoken with believe the outbreak originated from the farthest reaches of Alazan, Cayo de Grullo or Laguna Salada. I cannot confirm this.
Loomis and crew were willing to do a little exploring before heading to the green waters of the Landcut or some other spots. Rocky Slough's clearing waters got Loomis' attention and became our first stop of the morning.
When I say Rocky Slough, I'm rarely referring to the slough itself or even the rocky shoreline outside the slough, where a growing line of croaker soakers — a term I do not use in the derogatory sense — already had set anchor.
I'll call this South Rocky Slough, which is much nearer to the mouth of the Landcut than it is to Baffin. The water there was pretty, though not truly as clear as it gets. We spent the better part of an hour, maybe longer, aiming at yellow sand pockets within a meadow of dark seagrass.
The surface action was aggressive, but the fish were small and scattered.
So we headed south, looking for irregularities in the Landcut's west bank. We stopped at several and caught trout at every one with croaker. But again, they were not that big, though mostly keepers.
So we kept moving. Loomis had mentioned along the way his success on the Landcut's east side. For 15 years I have heard, reported and proven repeatedly what most folks believe is true about the Cut. Conventional wisdom suggests the western edge of the Landcut is best because its vertical slope is carved to be much steeper than the opposite bank.
I've never been given an explanation for this. But I assume it's dredged that way to provide some kind of navigational benefit for tugboats and barges.
Loomis kept insisting that during high winds and strong currents the east side can be as good or better in spots. He looks for indentations and points along the shallow shelf and particularly targets the points on either side of several channels that lead into Nine-Mile Hole.
And eventually he proved this at the south point of Rolloff's Channel — and he proved it emphatically. We not only caught more trout at a quicker pace, but they were bigger on average. But the thrill of the day was not a trout. It wasn't even a catch.
Nick Carter, who owns an air conditioning business in Floresville, was the only one using monofilament that day — 12-pound-test, I believe he said with some regret during the early stages of a very one-sided match.
Most of us recall or will recall at least one memory of such a scene during our lifetime.
It began with the kind of unmistakable thump that can buckle your knees. I stood beside Carter and saw his rod tip jolt, followed quickly by him bracing against what was to come. The anticipation was short-lived.
Earlier that day, we had reacted to most strikes by clicking our reels into free-spool to allow trout to fully engulf our baits. After a brief run, we'd engage the crank and set the hook.
There was no time for any of this nonsense. And if Carter had mashed the button on his reel when he felt the strike, I can almost guarantee a backlash would have resulted. Carter's mighty strike was followed immediately by a hard run that stretched his line, arched his fishing rod and tightened every muscle in his body. His expression was a mix of helplessness, amusement, thrill and panic. His wide-eyed gaze alternated between the line escaping his reel, the vicinity of the fish and each of our faces.
"Tighten your drag," Loomis shouted from the stern.
"It's 12-pound mono," Carter shouted back, fumbling to adjust the tension on his spool. "I've got less than half my line left, and it's not even slowing down."
"It's gotta be a jackfish," somebody said, followed shortly by a distinctive crack when the line snapped.
Carter was using a Shimano Curado 50 series reel, a sweet piece of light tackle equipment that holds 85 yards of 12-pound mono. He didn't have a prayer.
We capped the day with a long boat ride to just north of the causeway, where we found a few redfish in the brown water of the Boathole.

Silent But Deadly
John Kerry's much-lauded debate performance is going to continue to dog him--even if the media doesn't know it.
12:00 AM, Oct 7, 2004 • By HUGH HEWITT
IF A GAFFE falls in a forest, and nobody hears it, is it still a gaffe?
John Kerry's widely praised debate performance a week ago was in fact blunder-filled. Already we have seen the Bush-Cheney team seize on Kerry's call for global testing of American foreign policy, and there were other disastrous peeks at Kerrythink embedded in his silky delivery, about which more will follow.
Kerry came out against modernizing America's nuclear arsenal, for selling nuclear fuel to Iran, for appeasement of North Korea, and with an analogy comparing the Iraq war to invading Mexico after Pearl Harbor. The senator from Massachusetts also answered a Jim Lehrer question as to whether the war in Iraq was a mistake with a resounding "No!" only to later brand the war in Iraq a colossal error. And he overplayed his Tora Bora hand by insisting that the terrorists who "walked away" from Tora Bora were now at work in 60 countries around the globe, displaying an eighth grader's grasp of the shared ideology but operational independence of the Islamist threat that links Bali to Madrid to Beslan to other outrages of the past three years.
John Kerry just doesn't get it. Because he just didn't get it eloquently, however, most though not all of the nation's media swooned. That collective response should be branded "Selective Gaffe Hearing Syndrome." If Kerry had declared himself of Martian descent, but had done so with a fine delivery, would Chris Matthews or Tim Russert have noticed?
Not that it matters. What matters is the substance because there is now developed an alternative message delivery system which does not depend on the agreement of the dinosaurs. An ad underlining "global test" appeared on Friday, courtesy of the Bush campaign, and Rush and other talkers were all over it. By Wednesday the groundwork had been laid, and Fox News and other cable shows carried the president's speech in its entirety that fully exploited Kerry's debate performance. Slowly but surely the blogosphere also turned its attention to the Kerry blunders, and Kerry's "momentum" faded and then reversed.
A week ago after the debate the Kerry campaign was experiencing the same sort of relief that swept through the passengers on the Titanic after the iceberg was passed and before they knew of the damage below the waterline.
What remains to be asked is why the "professionals" on the networks missed the "global test" remark that has proven so devastating? Rarely have so many commentators been so wrong about so obvious a pratfall as Kerry's global test, and given that pundits on both sides of the aisle missed it, the answer can't be bias. Of all the talkers I watched, only Fred Barnes and Mort Kondracke put a verbal circle around "global test." The rest were rushing to comment on Bush's facial expressions.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's sanctions-fighting "resistance economy" suddenly got a lot leaner, less flashy and perhaps a bit more uncomfortable.
The Islamic Republic announced Thursday a ban on imports of 75 so-called luxury products — ranging from high-end cars to coffee to toilet paper — part of efforts to promote domestic products and stem the outflow of dollars and other foreign currency as Western economic pressures increasingly choke off Iran's commerce and critical oil revenue.
It's the most sweeping measure so far to batten down the Iranian economy, although the move is not likely to leave showrooms and store shelves empty.
It allows for foreign parts to be shipped in for local assembly plants, which make cars such as Peugeots, European-brand home appliances, laptops and mobile phones — all covered by the new ban.
There also are many Iranian-made alternatives to the list of now-blocked toiletries and beauty products — toothpaste, soap, shampoo, cosmetics and even toilet paper — but many consumers strongly prefer often better-quality imports from Europe, Turkey and the Middle East.
"It seems the government is desperate to control the flow of money outside the country," said Mehrzad Boroujerdi, a Syracuse University professor who follows Iranian affairs. "If you want a clear signal about how the sanctions are hitting Iran, this is a good one."
Western sanctions have cut sharply into Iran's oil sales, which account for 80 percent of the country's foreign currency revenue. At the same time, Iran has been barred from the major international banking systems, which has helped push the Iranian currency to record lows and forced merchants to resort to hand-carrying gold and cash from the nearby commercial hubs of Istanbul or Dubai.
Last week, in an attempt to control the rush of capital out of its borders, Iran prohibited exports of gold without a license issued by the country's Central Bank.
Iranian officials, meanwhile, have floated proposals to roll back some of the country's uranium enrichment — the centerpiece of the battle over Tehran's nuclear program — if the U.S. and European allies remove some sanctions. Western leaders have given no clear response about the possibility of resuming nuclear talks with such proposals on the table.

Ellen Mary Clerke
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ellen Mary Clerke (20 September 1840 – 2 March 1906) was an author, journalist, poet and popular science writer in the field of astronomy. She was born in Skibbereen, County Cork, in Ireland. She wrote for the London Tablet,[1] and also spent much time in Italy. Clerke also wrote for the Dublin Review.[2]
Agnes Mary Clerke, also a writer on astronomy, was her sister, and they were the children of Judge's Registrar, John William Clerke (c.1807-1890) and his wife Catherine Mary (b.c1819).[3]

Berdych Storms Into Indian Wells Semis
Indian Wells, U.S.A.
by Staff|
World No. 6 Tomas Berdych stormed into the semi-finals of the BNP Paribas Open on Thursday with a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Kevin Anderson. The Czech is yet to drop a set on his strong run at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden and will face either Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal in the semi-finals.
Berdych ended Anderson's desert run with victory in 90 minutes. The Czech broke serve in the 10th game of each set and fought off all three break points he faced. He recorded his sixth win in six meetings with the No.37-ranked Anderson.
The 27-year-old Berdych is through to the semi-finals of this ATP World Tour Masters 1000 hard court tournament for the first time in nine visits. He is the first Czech male to reach the semi-finals here since Bohdan Ulirach advanced to the final in 1997 (l. to Chang).
Visit Official Indian Wells Website
"I feel quite well on court, and especially I would say physically, because I already play quite a lot in the past couple of weeks," said Berdych. "So that's the important sign for me, that I can be fit for the guys in the next rounds. Then I can focus on the game that I want to play and the game what is working."
Berdych is bidding for his first ATP World Tour title of the season after runner-up finishes at the Open 13 in Marseille (l. to Tsonga) and the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships (l. to Djokovic). He has an 18-4 match record on the season.
Read Berdych In DEUCE
The 26-year-old Anderson has impressed on his comeback from elbow surgery, which he underwent after the Australian Open. The South African returned two weeks ago with a quarter-final showing in Delray Beach (l. to Isner) and knocked out World No. 4 David Ferrer in the second round in Indian Wells to record his third Top 10 win.

Version 5.3.3 for CSS - Public test buildDec 9, 2013 Full Version 3 comments
This isn't a final/stable release, so minor bugs may exist.
A historic-themed Rats project for multiple Source engine games. A half-conversion mod; Set in summarised 1980s theme, but with hints of previous decades to be a bit more realistic.
So far we've released for PVKII, BG2, and CSS; with future releases for CS:GO & No More Room In Hell.
5.3.3 has been released for testing, but only for CSS at the moment.
The aim of the project is to push Rats to the limit and add functionality to existing titles like the ones listed above. You may have seen servers in CSS that change gameplay and player models without needing to be an entirely separate game. That is the aim so you may enjoy many flavous of Rats in your favourite Source engine mods and games.
New features I would like to support in the maps:
Currently the artwork is 80% finished. Just need to texture a few existing items, and fill the room with small props and junk. The rest of the work will be coding in the features. My original plan when I started was to have a Kitchen after The Bedroom, and think I will still proceed with that choice.
Let me know what you think. :)

It was torture and there was a one day delay because of it, but I managed to get the release out.
I'll have to follow up with another soon for bug fixes, but you can go ahead and start playing and giving feedback.
Download link:
If you missed the previous article 2 days ago, here you go:
And now for some images from this new build :)
This isn't a final/stable release, so minor bugs may exist.
This is a packed BSP; All custom textures and models are already inside the BSP.
This is the compiled map for Counter Strike; Source. This download does not include the custom textures, models, and sounds. You must also download that...
This is the compiled map for Battle Grounds 2. This download does not include the custom textures, models, and sounds. You must also download that to...
This is the RAR of all the custom models, textures, and sounds used. It has been uploaded separately from the BSP map itself....
I didn't release it yet. I had plans to, but became too busy with greater priorities and then forgot entirely. I'll release it as soon as I can. For now try the CSS 5.3.3 version to make sure it runs fine for you, cause that is basically what NMRIH will be using.
Half Life 2 mod....
Can people read anymore?...
What are you on about?
Well there ARE separate sections for CSS and Half-Life 2 on Moddb.
And you for some reason put it in Half-Life 2...
And this is clearly a CSS mod...
This profile was created before a "CSS mod" option existed.
"Can people read anymore?..."
IF you bothered to view the downloads section, you'd find a release for PVKII and Battle-Grounds 2. This is not a CSS mod.
Clearly you are a very unhappy person to come on here and vote down my comments as well as insult me by implying my reading comprehension is lacking;
When clearly it is yours that is lacking.
Go bother someone else, or better yet, do something more productive with your time.
released jul14, 1985
wtf ?
The amount of detail in that video was stunning. You should be damn proud of yourself.

Overall User Rating: Eco Products EP-BRHC20-EW Evolution World PCF 20 oz. Hot Cups - 1000 / Case ( 4.8 stars from 5 reviews )
I recommend this brand over any other natural hot cups. They are very professional looking and informs customers that they are a natural product. I love the design as well.
Anne K. from NewLeaf Posted on 12/21/2014
These cups do just what a coffee cup should do. They are sturdy and do a decent job at keeping your hand from getting too hot. We pair them with the Choice 10, 12, 16, and 20 oz. Hot Paper Cup Travel Lid White and the Choice Coffee Cup Sleeve, and have been very pleased.
Lydia G. Posted on 04/18/2014
These are more cost effective than the biodegradable version, but still portrays the message you need it to. While using post consumer waste, it reduces waste that lands in landfills. That will help lower the amount going into landfills across the country, while the biodegradable simply "disappears" faster, but still ends up in a landfill or approved composting facility. Either one a great buy!
Gabriella C. from Elements Posted on 12/16/2013
Very pleased with this cup (s). Was looking for a 12-16-20 oz cup that use the same size lid. The Evolution cup does this while offering a eco friendly product. I shopped this product and even after shipping cost still best price from WEBstaurant.
Susan D. from Pump House at Mind Blown Studio Posted on 10/12/2013
I really like these cups. They have a nice look. It says on the cup that they are made from recycled material. I use the Eco sleeves and hot lids to go with it and my customers have nothing but positive comments. Better for the environment and nice looking.

I'm sure Mac OS has its purpose, but for some reason, it's always on the back burner when it comes to new game releases. Most people go with Windows or even linux, me being the Windows. I won't discredit Mac users, because Mac is perfect for photo-editing/ video-editing. As for gaming, Mac isn't there... *yet
that's my 2 cents.

VA begins set-asides for disabled vets.
In a Feb. 24 letter to VA managers, C. Ford Heard, director of the department's Acquisition Resources Service, spelled out procedures for using the new preference. "We strongly encourage you to use the above authority to increase acquisitions made from SDVOSBs," he wrote.
He instructed contracting officers to use the department's registry of veteran-owned businesses, at www.vetbiz.gov, as their primary market research tool to locate qualified contractors. (For more on vetbiz.com, see Web Watch, p, 3.)
Other agencies are likely to wait until the Small Business Administration issues a rule implementing the Veterans Benefits Act of 2003, which was signed by President Bush Dec. 16.
Set-asides and sole-source awards are limited to $3 million, or $5 million for manufacturers.
Congress has established a governmentwide goal of awarding 3% of prime contract dollars to service-disabled-veteran-owned companies, but the government has never achieved even one-quarter of 1%.

Hello, first time poster,
I'm running into a frustrating bug near the end of Episode 3. During the sequence where I'm supposed to head to the front car to tell Kenny to stop the train, I can't click on the box car door to move forward. The cursor only moves slightly farther than is necessary to wipe the blood off of Duck's face, even if I move Lee past the door. I've tried adjusting my resolution, refreshing my mouse, and using a 360 gamepad, and none of these solutions worked. Any advice?

Pune: In a bid to rebuild peace efforts and break down communication barriers that came up between different communities, members of both Hindu-Muslim community came together on one platform to provide service to pilgrims (warkaris) during the annual Pandharpur pilgrimage taking a step forward by medium of Palkhi to rebuild the peace efforts.
Under the umbrella of Hindu-Muslim Ekta Jagruti Abhiyaan distributed dates, bananas and other fruits to the warkaris and even offered floral tributes to the palkhi as a part of their solidarity gesture aimed at cementing Hindu-Muslim unity on Monday morning. The area has been tense after a young IT professional was done to death by goons belonging to Hindu Rashtra Sena (HRS).
According to Ikram Khan, who is the coordinator of the initiative taking into account the disharmony spread by vested interests in the recent past, the area residents felt the need to show their solidarity behind communal harmony and took the initiative to spread the message of peace.
"The warkaris were very happy at our gesture and promised to spread the message of brotherhood throughout their journey to Pandharpur and ever after completion of wari pilgrimage ," he added.
While every year, members of Muslim community do come together to offer services to pilgrims during the wari, this is the first time that a special initiative was thought for Hadapsar area where violence had recently spoiled relations.
Hanumant Patil , a warkari from Latur said, that he was touched by the kind gesture. " I believe love, compassion and respect for each other's faith is far above all the differences. I along with my Dindi workers will ensure that we spread message of religious unity amongst the countrymen ," he added.
Dilip Tupe, social worker from Hadapsar said that many more initiatives aimed at bringing about unity amongst the citizens in the city would be undertaken post the pilgrimage as well.
Meanwhile another group, Awami Mahaz, a muslim social organisation based in Pune Cantonment, organised a free medical and dental check up camp for the warkari's. General Secretary Iqbal Mulani said that free distribution of medicines and health check up of the pilgrims was done in association with Rangoonwala College of Dentistry and Unani Medical College, Azam Campus as a mark of respect to the Warkari's.

† Appearances (Goals).
Stephen William Henry "Steve" Lovell (born 6 December 1980 in Amersham) is a former English footballer who played as a striker. Lovell played the majority of his career in the Scottish Premier League, turning out for Dundee, Aberdeen and Falkirk,
Lovell started his career in 1998 when he joined Bournemouth, but then surprisingly signed for Portsmouth for £250,000[1] despite only making a few brief appearances. He then went on loan to Exeter City, Sheffield United (where he scored once against Watford)[2] and Queens Park Rangers.
Lovell signed for Scottish Premier League club Dundee in the summer of 2002. He spent three seasons at Dens Park, scoring 35 goals in 98 competitive appearances.
In the summer of 2005, following Dundee's relegation from the SPL, Lovell signed for Aberdeen. He made his Aberdeen début against Kilmarnock on 8 August and scored his first goal against Rangers the following week.[3] Lovell went on to score a further nine times that season. Lovell formed the habit of scoring late goals for Aberdeen, becoming something of a "supersub". These late goals included two in separate matches against Inverness Caledonian Thistle, which maintained Aberdeen's unbeaten record against that opponent. Lovell also scored a consolation goal in the second leg of Aberdeen's UEFA Cup match against Bayern Munich in the Allianz Arena.
In April 2008, he was told by Jimmy Calderwood that he would not be offered a new contract by Aberdeen and would be free to leave in the summer. It was reported on 18 July that Hibernian, Kilmarnock and Falkirk were all interested in signing him.[4]
In August 2008, Lovell signed for Falkirk on a one-year deal with the option of a further one. He scored his first goal in a League Cup match against Queen of the South and netted his first league goal against Hamilton Academical the following Saturday. In May 2009, it was reported Lovell had undertaken a medical at Tannadice Park ahead of a proposed move to Dundee United,[5] although United manager Craig Levein later refuted the story and Lovell admitted he knew "absolutely nothing about it".[6] On 27 June 2009, he was allegedly, unlawfully released from his contract by new manager Eddie May, despite being the top goal scorer. He attempted to sue the club for breach of contract but Falkirk FC won the case.[7]
Partick Thistle[edit]
After leaving Falkirk, Lovell signed for Partick Thistle where he played seventeen games, scoring 3 goals, before leaving on 24 March 2010 to have surgery on a niggling ankle injury.[8]
In June 2010, Lovell joined his half-brother, Eddie Howe at AFC Bournemouth, his second spell at the club. After spending a period of pre-season with the club in 2009 he finally signed following the lifting of the club's transfer embargo.[9] Lovell's contract came to an end after the 2010–11 campaign, but was offered a further year plus one-year option by Cherries boss, Lee Bradbury, and put pen to paper on 25 May 2011 keeping him at Bournemouth until at least May 2012. Lovell had struggled to overcome an ankle injury and only returned to the squad in April 2011 but showed enough quality to merit a new deal. On 1 September 2011, Lovell announced his retirement from professional football with immediate effect after struggling with injuries for the past two seasons.[10] Lovell scored four goals during his second spell at Bournemouth. His first goal came against Hartlepool in the league, a game in which Bournemouth confirmed their spot in the 2010-11 play offs despite conceding an injury time goal scored by Hartlepool goalkeeper Scott Flinders.[11] However, his two goals against Huddersfield in the play off semi final second leg were unable to prevent them losing on penalties.[12] At the start of the following season, Lovell scored a goal against West Bromwich Albion in the League Cup as they lost 4-1.[13] On 2 September 2011 Lovell retired from football because of injury. [14]
Personal life[edit]
In 2008, Lovell became engaged to Scottish singer-songwriter Amy Macdonald but the two have now separated.[15] He is the half-brother of current AFC Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe.

PDA shipments near record levels
- Related Stories
Palm: What PDA problem?July 29, 2005
Tapwave exits game device businessJuly 28, 2005
Handheld market free fall continuesFebruary 2, 2005
According to a report by Gartner, worldwide shipments of personal digital assistants totaled 3.6 million units in the last three months, a 32 percent jump from the same period last year. The market is now on track to reach 15 million units shipped by the end of 2005, Gartner analysts said. If that happens, it would surpass the previous record of 13.2 million PDAs shipped in 2001.
The study also found that Windows CE is the operating system of choice for business-minded road warriors. The underlying software accounted for 46 percent of worldwide shipments in the second quarter of 2005, followed by RIM with 23.2 percent of the PDA software shipped. PalmSource's 18.8 percent share rounded out the top three.
"Wireless PDAs are increasingly seen as an adjunct or alternative to notebook computers, while favorable exchange rates have enabled more Europeans to purchase PDAs at an attractive price," said Gartner analyst Todd Kort.
The totals do not include smart phones, such as the Treo 650 and BlackBerry 7100, but do include wireless PDAs, such as the iPAQ 6315 and Nokia 9300.
In terms of hardware, Research In Motion's BlackBerry was the most popular device, with shipments growing 64.7 percent, to 840,000, in the second quarter. RIM's market share of 23.2 percent continues to lead the pack, with Palm close behind at 17.8 percent. Dell's and Hewlett-Packard's market share continued to suffer, however, with T-Mobile's Sidekick II and Pocket PC Phone Edition devices pushing Dell out of the top-five ranking, analysts said.
Dell and HP are on schedule to refresh their product lines in the second half of 2005.
On a regional basis, the Western European PDA market grew 94 percent to 1.3 million units in the second quarter of 2005. The region accounted for 37 percent of worldwide shipments, up from 25 percent a year ago. PDA shipments in the United States totaled 1.4 million units, a 1.3 percent increase. Garner blames the stagnant U.S. market on the continuing decline in Palm OS PDA shipments and aging product lines among Microsoft licensees. PDA shipments in Asia/Pacific grew 24.7 percent, with approximately 402,000 unit shipments.
The rosy outlook for PDAs seems to contradict a similar handheld report that came out from research firm IDC last week. It said that shipments of handhelds fell to 1.7 million units in the second quarter. The shift represents a sequential drop of 24.9 percent, and a year-over-year decrease of 20.8 percent.
However, Gartner said it prioritizes its PDA data as a data-centric handheld computer first and a communications device second.
Analyst Charles Golvin with Forrester Research, which does not publish quarterly sales and shipment information, said the biggest problem for PDA makers is that the purchases coming from existing users more than newer ones.

- Surprised
- It surprises me that the PDA market has seen an increase in sales, or least, shipments. What doesn't surprise is the decrease that has happened dring the past few years. New PDA models come out at an incredible rate, at high prices. I think the average PDA user keeps his PDA for at least a few years, so he doesn't buy a new one each year. It shouldn't surprise that people aren't (or weren't) buying the newer models.
It is welcome news to hear that PDA technology prices are dropping.

Enterprise Reporting: A Sound Step to Superior Performance Management

For organizations seeking to improve return, cut costs, manage risk and act on new opportunities, it's not hard to understand the need for high-quality Business Intelligence (BI) and performance management solutions. Most IT organizations have responsibility for lots of data, lots of applications - and hundreds, perhaps thousands, of reports. Employees and business partners count on these reports to keep them up to date and to support their decision-making, even as they acknowledge that the reports often do not provide complete or sufficiently timely information.
