Andy, a happy day? Man, now I have this song in my mind. "We’re so pleased that so many of you could come out and share in all the love and all the happiness we have in store for you. We want you to have a real good time ‘cause that’s just what we have in mind. Is that alright with you?"
According to a C|Net News.com article Marc Zimmermann and Trade Wind pointed out to us, today might be The Day the Handheld PC undied. HP might announce a brand new Handheld PC today. "Microsoft on Wednesday will kick off its first developer conference for mobile devices in London by announcing new devices using its Pocket PC 2002 and Handheld PC OS from partners Toshiba and Hewlett-Packard. HP's new Jornada 728 Handheld PC will use Microsoft's Handheld PC OS and will come with 64MB of memory, compared with the previous version that came with 32MB, and will cost $999. It will be available at the end of May." It sounds like more of a hardware than software update, but as long as new devices come to the market, the product line is not dead!
And Toshiba might bring out the e310: "Toshiba's device, the Pocket PC e310, will begin shipping April 22 for $399 and will come with 32MB of memory, a Secure Digital expansion slot and will use Intel's 206MHz StrongARM processor. The e310 will weigh about 5 ounces and measure about a half an inch thick."
Is more more, or is less more? In any case: we want more!
