The ThoughtCast has finally returned with a very interesting and exclusive topic. This is the first in a three part series where Jason and I talk about the HP iPAQ hw6900. Jason was able to get his hands on a prerelease version on the device and this ThoughtCast begins to explore the device and what is brings to the table. The device itself brings up a number of interesting observations both about the hw6900 and about devices in general, but you will have to listen to find out all the details.



Show notes:
• Review of the HP iPAQ hw6900.
• HP iPAQ 6900 Messenger Quick Look Photo Preview.
• HP iPAQ hw6900 Specifications.

These pictures are too sexy for children...seriously, i'm starting to fall for this device. it seems very functional and practical.

i haven't listened to the podcast yet. i'll do that later, but i hope someone can answer my few questions here:
1. can you initiate ms voice command using a wired stereo headset's talk button?
2. i know professionals here aren't interested in gaming, but anyway, are SNES/NES emulators playable on this? in other words, do the screen size, d-pad/joystick, hardware buttons, and processor support them?
3. is there going to be a localized version for Arabic? the keyboard is gonna be a waste for me if i can't SMS in Arabic. and i can't touch-type on this, so the letters need to be printed on the buttons for it to be usable.

Hmm. You happened to ask three questions that I have no idea about - I didn't install MS Voice Command, nor an SNES emulator, and I have no idea about Arabic - it's only been officially announced in Europe for now. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!
