New HP iPaqs.
There’s still no official word on the HP Australia web site, of course, but the last couple of days has seen news of the launch of the new HP iPAQ range. MTekk has news that they will land here in October.
It looks as though mobile phones and PDAs are going to meet somewhere in the middle, the specifications on the top of the range h6350 (the h6315 is not coming to Australia), are rumoured to include a quad band GSM/GPRS phone, Bluetooth and 802.11b support, built-in VGA camera, an SDIO supporting SD card slot and Windows Mobile 2003.
With specs that impressive, one can also expect an impressive price tag, no doubt. Even though there’s no word on official pricing, we’re not expecting the price to leave us much change from A$1200, if any.
Now that Sony has exited the handheld PC market, maybe we’ll see the two remaining major players (HP and PalmOne) turn up the heat on each other a little. Who will be able to pack more functionality into their devices?
