Handheld market still tanking, study says: Published: July 27, 2005 on CNET

"Global shipments of handheld devices continue to decline, but this has not deterred device makers from adding new features"

"Shipments of handhelds fell to 1.7 million units in the second quarter, according to data released released Wednesday by IDC. The shift represents a sequential drop of 24.9 percent, and a year-over-year decrease of 20.8 percent."

Seems like the publishers just aren't paying attention.
