Cidco has forgone the telephone for more modern appliances. The company designs and sells specialized computers that compose, send, and receive e-mails removing the need for bulkier PCs. Its MailStation and Mivo series e-mail devices are sold at major retailers including Best Buy, Kmart, OfficeMax, and Target. E-mail service providers, which resell the devices, account for half of sales. (SBC Communications, which has discontinued its e-mail service, accounts for nearly 45% of sales.) Cidco also provides its own e-mail service with accounts for 22% of sales. The company has sold its telecommunications equipment business, which developed caller identification products, cordless phones, and other devices.
