Sony Halting Clie PDA sales in U.S.

Sony announced that they would no longer be releasing new Clie models in the U.S. market.

The consumer electronics giant said it will continue product development and sales in Japan but that its efforts in the United States will end when it sells existing supplies of four Clie models.

Sony will reportedly continue sales in Japan at this time. Analysts suspect that the Clie division was a "money-losing business".

Rumors and speculation have long called for Apple to renter the PDA market, but with few recent leads on this popular topic.
