I'm curious to know how popular Palm handhelds are there. Until this year the Palm was not known very much. But I think the number of palm owners doubled in 2000. Recently we saw a few television programs explaining what a Palm is and how it helps people organize their lives, etc. Also, a local bank has just introduced 'Palm Banking' and a local ISP created a PDA News Channel in AvantGo.
Turkish people love using technological gadgets.
I hope the same thing will happen to handhelds. It is English version, but recently a Handspring distributor here announced a free localization software which converts standard Palm OS applications, dialog texts, menus etc. I think this will help to increase sales tremendously. The Turkish alphabet has only a few accented characters over the English alphabet. However, in general most of the people here are intrigued when they see the capabilities of a Palm handheld.
