well, I know of certain asian producer who is working on putting symbian into PDA (not into cell phone!), so your fool's day joke actually is not so far from reality!

of course compaq has too close ties with microsoft so it cannot risk it by putting symbian into ipaq, but believe me, it would take them very little time/resources to do it...

PS. I like X-Men very much, particularly the movie, and indeed Wolverine is my favorite character out of all X-Men (actually nobody knew how old he is)...

Wow everyone is announcing their new devices today. And who would of thought they would pick April 1st to do it.

I heard the same thing in August of 2000 re: iPAQ and Linux.

I won't buy another Compaq. When I bought my first one, they failed to tell me that I had to pre-mix the gas & oil and I accidentally fried it. My replacement unit runs on Slick50. Yeah...That's the ticket!

not a bad idea at all! (this summer Symbian starts invasion of USA and by the end of this year, who knows, maybe this address would be of use...)

I have registered http://my-symbian.com myself, but I have
traded it to my friend already who has most popular
and best web site about Symbian based cell phones...

OHBOY, why it is so strange for you that Symbian COULD RUN on iPaQ? several current Symbian devices run on EXACTLY THE SAME processor as iPaq: strongArm! adaption of Symbian to iPAq would really take little time!!!

[Chubbergott]

It would have been nice to see the iPaq run a meaty OS, but I still don't like the current trend in handhelp devices. I'm more of a clamshell man myself (though, I must admit to being slightly tempted by the cheap Jornadas going around these days - I need a snazzy route planner for my car).

Nevertheless, nice joke (The giveaway that this is a joke was when you said you found Symbian tempting - Microsoft don't like it so it figures you don't either) and the screenshot was quite convincing. But I think that the guy who commented on the fact that Microsoft wouldn't allow Compaq to use another OS (a la Dell) is right on the button.
