HP Developing GPS Solutions

It seems that there might yet be a GPS-enabled iPaq some time in the future.
"You're standing on a street corner in San Francisco, and you're craving a gyro. Wouldn't it be nice if you could whip out your PDA or cell phone and have it point you to the nearest Greek joint? While services like Vindigo make it possible to get that kind of information on a handheld computer, you still have to tell the device where you're located so it can provide directions. This can be a pain, especially on the number keypad of a cell phone. Hewlett-Packard may one day offer such a solution."
