HP Releases New iPAQs

HP has officially released the new iPAQ 1910 and iPAQ 5450. Sure enough, the specs on the 1910 say 16MB of NAND Flash memory and 64MB of SDRAM, 46 of which is user accessible. I guess some of the Pocket PC 2002 apps are going in RAM. Compaq has always been good about ensuring their customers got upgrades to the latest OS. They did it with the Palm-sized PC Aero and iPAQ 3100/3600 series. So lets hope HP follows that tradition. They will have to provide a custom version of whatever MS does whenever MS does it since the existing Pocket PC 2002 ROM is 22MB in size. I can only assume a new OS would be larger still.
Strange ROM size aside, looks like HP is ready to compete in the upper and lower range of handhelds. :)
