Default First Look at iPAQ rx1950 / rx1955

http://www.todopocketpc.com/foro/sh...ead.php?t=69114

todopocketpc.com has a thread started with pictures of the forthcoming iPAQ rx1950/55.



As the poster there points out, the iTask button has been replaced with a button to toggle WiFi. Looks like a nice mid-range PPC on the horizon in this package.

Looks a LOT like my 4150. Maybe this is more about stretching the iPaq line out a little longer.

I think iPaq has too complex a line of PocketPC's anyway. The choice is nice for consumers but with each model there is a higher cost for a different design. Higher costs mean lower margins for HP which is ultimately NOT good for consumers.

By the way, those pics are too close to H4155. I am not sure those pics are true now.

I wonder when these models are released, if HP will discontinue some of their older iPAQs like the h2215, h4355, and the h4155 models. (which are still available on the HP website) Will they also discontinue the rx3100/3700 series? I wouls at least discontinue the rx3100, since it has the same specs as these new models.

Bah. I don't care. I'm saving up for an HTC Apache. (which hopefully will be available on Verizon.)

I’ve always loved the slim 1900 design. If they can get a flip cover and GSM in this I think I would have to give up Qwerty and get this over the others I’m tracking (the Moto Q, the BenQ and the HP Mobile Messenger.) Full functional + big-ish screen + fits (barely but I think tolerably) in jeans pocket is hard to beat. To do that the flip cover would have to be like that of the Jornada in not increasing the size.

Wait a minute..... that is EXACTELY the same shell as the 4150. Either HP are seriously cutting back production costs or the pictures are fakes......

Who knows these days with HP :?:

I hope it is true that HP would return to the 1945 form factor.

If it is...is there any way they can get a VGA screen in there?

Hey it's me old friend the 4150 again!

If they include a VGA screen and WM2005, then it would make an already perfect unit even more perfect.
