iPAQ 63xx confirmed by Gartner at CES
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 02:00 PM
"I attended a couple of the presentations at CES (see my coverage), and one that only had about 30 people in it was called "Pocketable Devices: Finding the Perfect One." The speaker was Todd Kort from Gartner Dataquest, and he primarily talked about PDAs and smartphones. He presented several slides that showed different devices on different scales, i.e., consumer vs. enterprise. One device that piqued my interest was when he showed a scatter plot of current and soon to be released devices, and the iPAQ 63xx was on there. He stated matter-of-factly that the iPAQ 63xx would have Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPRS integrated in one device. While he didn't give a release date it sounds like this device is definitely around the corner, and may no longer be just a rumor."
