| BACKGROUND:
Over the past three years our Forums have successfully
demonstrated that the vendor and customer communities can share
the risks and rewards of market development to reduce either their
cost of sale or purchase. Many of you have asked us to expand our
Forum concept to add technology and functional areas. We listened
and have created the Hand-Held and PDA EXPO. |
