iPAQs Pass FCC/Bluetooth Specs
Posted by Janak Parekh in "HARDWARE" @ 06:00 AM
The world's worst-kept secret, the iPAQ 6300, just got a little worse-kept; the FCC has approved the device for use in the US, and as usual, we get plenty of documentation to back it up, including photos and a user manual. Here's a frontal pic from the FCC docs:
Just as interesting is the fact that a pair of devices known as the iPAQ 3400 and 3700 just passed Bluetooth certification. Surprisingly, those devices seem to be only BT 1.1 (not 1.2) compliant, and the list of profiles doesn't include Handset/Handsfree. Moreover, the Bluetooth SIG doesn't seem to publish more specs about devices that pass, so we'll have to continue speculating on what those devices are.
I've got a pair of pictures of the back of the h6300 as well from the FCC documentation, one with the regular battery and one with the extended battery. Note the battery lock switch at the bottom... and is the camera "missing" in the second picture? :)
