[comp.sys.handhelds] High end calc. sales

croley@walt.cc.utexas.edu (David T. Croley) (05/06/90)

My boss and I have been trying to get an estimate for the number of
handheld computers sold each year.  We thought that a good way to approach
this would be to use high-end calculator sales.  However, I am having
a lot of difficulty finding any numbers at all.

If anyone has any idea how many high-end calculators or even just how
many HP's were sold last year I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Hewlett-Packard rarely publishes sales numbers for any product
except when a noteworthy milestone is reached.

I suggest you consult with a market research firm, just like
we do to learn about our competitors.
