More iPaq Delays
Posted by Nurhisham Hussein in "HARDWARE" @ 03:00 AM
"Looks like HP has still no luck with its Windows Mobile PDA and smartphone business. After the American PC manufacture caught some attention with its recently announced iPAQ line of PDAs and smartphone, TamsPPC Blog reports that the whole iPAQ line is delayed."
After the blow of having the 200 series delayed, it now appears that the 600 and 900 series are having the same problems. The 600 series looks like it'll only turn up in February 2008 and the 900 series in May 2008, or about 3-4 months after they were originally slated to be shipping. Bear in mind that this report has not yet been corroborated, but given the problems with the 200 series, I wouldn't be surprised if we get this confirmed pretty soon.
Update: (via Brighthand) Bad news, HP has more or less confirmed the gist of the news through a spokesman:

Quote: ...a small number of production and supply issues discovered in the development of the recently announced HP iPAQ products will cause their availability to be later than we had hoped in some regions of the world.
