FCC featured HP iPAQ 900 Series

FCC featured HP iPAQ 900 Series

Trawling through the FCC website will show that the upcoming HP iPAQ 900 series smartphones in the works. No idea on when this will be released to Joe public and from which carrier will you be able to get it from, but AT&T is a very real possibility. With its release being pegged back for quite some time already, hopefully the specifications within won't be too outdated in this day and age.

HP iPAQ 610 series canceled only in US

HP iPAQ 610 series canceled for US

HP has displayed a certain amount of America-phobia with their decision to cancel launch of the iPAQ 610 series in their native US. It's not so much the fact that they canceled the release, but how they canceled it ONLY in America that makes us a tad ticked off.

British retailer Devicewire will be offering the iPAQ 614 to UK consumers for around $765. Psh, like most of America could afford a price-tag like that anyway. Is it our better food and dentistry which turns you away? An answer, please.

AT&T brings out more handsets

AT&T brings out more handsets

AT&T might have plenty of flaws when it comes to service, customer care, and network, but they definitely sit pretty at the top when it comes to bringing in new cellphones to the market. The HP iPAQ 910c "Business Messenger" is next up on their list with a model number FB070AA#ABA assigned to it. Will this be a renaissance for HP when it comes to the mobile handset business? After all, the more the merrier and it will be the consumer who wins out in the end ultimately. Features of the iPAQ 910c include a full QWERTY keyboard, tri-band HSDPA support, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, GPS navigation, a 3 megapixel camera and more. It will be powered by Windows Mobile 6 Professional. No idea on how much it costs nor when will it be released though.

iPAQ 600 is no vaporware
Thanks to HP Korea, we now know that the iPAQ 600 is not a figment of our imagination and desire, but a real smartphone that will be released by SK Telecom and KTF sometime down the road. This will be a Windows Mobile 6 powered smartphone and lets you surf the Internet no matter where you are via HSDPA technology. The release date has yet to be confirmed, let alone pricing details. For a more in-depth look at the specifications, check out our post from last week.

HP iPAQ 600 coming soon

HP iPAQ 600 coming soon
HP certainly looks set to get straight back into the smartphone game with the iPAQ 600 that will be announced next month. What can excited punters expect from this? For starters, how about 3G connectivity via HSDPA that lets you surf at more than decent speeds while you're not shackled to your desk? A 520MHz processor and 128MB RAM make up the heart of the iPAQ 600, while Windows Mobile 6 Professional with Office Mobile is the operating system of choice. There will be a 3 megapixel camera for you to take candid shots wherever you are, although it remains unknown whether a flash of any sort is attached with this camera. Take note that the model you see on the right is but an artist’s impression.

HP iPAQ rw6828 impressions at MrPalm.com

HP iPAQ rw6828 impressions at MrPalm.com

The HP iPAQ rw6828 remains an Asia Pacific exclusive device that is very similar to the Xda Atom in terms of specs and form factor, so MrPalm.com has posted some pictures of the rw6828 for those who are in America and Europe to drool over. The device itself is awesome, and you can check out the official specifications here. It is a pity the rw6828 is not marketed worldwide, as it would be top draw in many countries.

iPAQ RW6828 Atom from HP


iPAQ RW6828 Atom from HP
The Atom in the iPAQ family is now known as the iPAQ RW6828. Check out the sweet looking spyshot. We hope the surface of the RW6828 will not get easily stained like the iPAQs of old. It retains the tinted visor that can be swung from the top, offering a more pleasing design that doubles up as the screen protector simultaneously. We can't wait for the final product to be commercially available if the preview is anything to go by. Microsoft's stranglehold on technology seem to be strengthening by the day, especially when it comes to younger markets like smartphones and PDAs.
