HP Planning Updated iPAQs?
Posted by Janak Parekh in "HARDWARE" @ 12:15 PM
"HP's booths were active at the CES this year. Not just active with tons of products, but with buzz about their iPAQ line that has been disappointing as of late. Some of the more loose lipped reps talked about a redesign coming for the h6300 Windows Mobile phone and the entry level rz1715."
There's not a whole lot of detail in the article, but the idea makes sense. I don't quite understand HP's lineup at all right now -- the 17xx units are budget-featured but not budget-priced, the new 2xxx and 3xxx units are powerful but lacking VGA and it's tough to determine the better unit, the 4700 is powerful but large and has less memory, and the 6315 doesn't even have WM2003SE. Let's see if HP can get their act together a little bit.
