Why is there no PDA in Japan?

This article by Charles R. Tokoyama, CEO of Japan Insiders, discusses why there is no PDA presence in Japan and what factors have contributed to its decline. Factors such as the emergence of smartphones with more features at a lower price point, the rise of tablet PCs and e-book readers, different mobile operating systems, and government regulations have all played a role in diminishing interest in PDAs among Japanese consumers. Despite this, some niche markets still exist where there is demand for these types of products.
