Is That a New HP iPaq 110 or HP iPaq 210 I See You With?
Trust HP to step up to the plate. On September 5th, the company introduced two new iPaq models, the HP iPaq 110 Classic Handheld and HP iPaq 210 Enterprise Handheld.
There may be skeptics upon hearing the release of these two devices. While Smartphones have their appeal, there are many people still prefer their PDA not to be integrated with their phone, and the iPaq name still holds great sway. Expect brisk sales. The 110 seems to be aimed at students, casual users, and mobile enthusiasts, while the 210 will likely fit well in the vertical market.

So, the Pocket PC isn't dead! HP is showing an ongoing commitment to the market. The 200 is the super-duper, PPC with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, SD, CF and a 4 inch VGA screen that power users have been waiting for.
In addition HP introduced 3 new iPAQs - 2 phones and a GPS machine:
· HP iPAQ 900 Series Business Messenger – 3G phone(1) with QWERTY keyboard
· HP iPAQ 600 Series Business Navigator – A two-in-one 3G phone(1) and navigation device
· HP iPAQ 300 Series Travel Companion – Handheld GPS device for business and personal travel featuring graphics acceleration and available 3D maps
BTW - To be clear the "200, super-duper PPC" I refer to actually the "HP iPAQ 210 Enterprise Handheld".
Oh yeeeah! HP strikes back hard!! One thing HP...How about ROM upgrades for the faithful? I'll probably stay on-board with a new iPAQ, and keep my older device in service as well...how about stepping up to that, HP?
...iWhat? I just seen the neww nano...Now i gotta get a new ipaq and a new ipod? Forget it, i can already do that with me ipaq...
Don't you find the D-Pad a tad too close to the edge for comfortable use?
No, you don't know what you're talking about!
