Personal Data Devices "Based in Hauppauge, N.Y., with around 300+ employees, privately held PCD essentially acts as glue between Asian electronics manufacturers and wireless carriers like AT&T Mobility, Sprint Nextel, Verizon Wireless and others. The company works to supply wireless devices to carriers, and generally stamps those devices with just the carrier's brand. Thus, PCD isn't a consumer-facing supplier, but rather a business-to-business operation for wireless carriers in North and South America. PCD has traditionally focused on supplying feature phones and smartphones to carriers, and its new Advanced Devices Division represents the company's decision to expand from a handset focus and into the wider world of mobile computing. PCD's Cufari said the operation would look to a range of devices, from netbooks to ereaders. "Where PCD fills a void ... is getting a product out to market," he explained. "Netbooks just happen to be the low-hanging fruit," and represent the start of the advanced devices effort. Cufari, a longtime wireless industry veteran recently hired by PCD to head up the new division, declined to provide any specifics on the company's planned devices, including prices, commercial release dates and potential carrier partners. He said the Advanced Devices Division's gadgets are all in the prototype stage, and are being shopped to potential carrier customers.”
