HP's rx5915 Travel Companion on Display
Posted by Nurhisham Hussein in "HARDWARE" @ 06:00 PM
"At an HP event in New York City this evening the HP iPaq rx5915 was on display for the first time in the U.S. and the device has also shown up on the HP website with a price of $599.99. The iPaq rx5915 isn't being dubbed as a PDA, but rather a Travel Companion as it has a built-inSiRFstar III GSC3F GPS chip. Indeed, at the HP event dubbed "Your Life is the Show" HP had the iPaq rx5915 setup on a mocked up car dashboard to show how it would work as a guidance system while driving."
We reported on HP's new family of cool devices a few weeks ago (here, here and here), and it's beginning to look better and better. The US version of the iPaq rx5915 will come bundled with a huge 1700maH battery and Tom Tom 6 navigation software, and a car cradle/mount and charger will be included in the box. It looks like a very capable device, especially if you can get the version with 2GB ROM storage. I like the fact that it has an SD slot, mini-USB connector (a departure for HP), and standard 3.5mm headphone socket. Any takers?
