Eyewittness sighting of the iPAQ 5450

This is one of those completely unsubstantiated rumours, but for those of you who don't venture into the forums and stick to the front page, someone named Strong887 has apparently seen one of the new 5000 series iPAQs:
"I am currently at a Cisco IP Telephony conference in Penn Plaza, NYC and one of the presenters had a HP Ipaq 5450 Pocket PC. It is using the same screen as my 3975 (compared them side by side). Notable is the built in 802.11b with a VERY small antenna (smaller than the one in the picture). It has a removeable battery and the earphone jack is on the bottom of the casing. Supposedly, this model supports a headset connection (speaker and mic) in that plug. A h.323 softphone application was being demoed on it by a company called IP Blue. I verified the asset
information as an HP5450."
Psst...drop the zero, and what do you get? HP 545, the first Pocket PC HP ever made. Hmm...
