HP to Unveil Wireless Jornada
http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,84604,tk,dn021502X,00.asp
We now have a date - four days away! Is anyone going to be at Cannes? I'd love to learn more about the Jornada 928, if only to know that it won't work in Canada (which I know it won't). I wonder how quickly they'll release a CDMA2000 version, or a version that works on North American GSM.
"Hewlett-Packard is expected to unveil a wireless-enabled addition to its Jornada range of personal digital assistants at the GSM World Congress in Cannes beginning February 19. Details of the HP Jornada 928 WDA are scheduled to be released at an introductory event at Cannes.
Existing models in HP's Jornada range all run variations of the Microsoft Windows CE operating system software. Microsoft has been working to develop a new version of its PDA operating system, integrating wireless telephony functions such as dialing numbers straight from the address book, maintaining logs of calls made and received, and sending and receiving text messages by Short Message Service (SMS) technology."

Wow, this week has been full of product announcements. The jornada device sounds interesting. Will it basically be a 568 with built in wireless or will it be a completely new device?

In pictures I have seen is does resemble the 56x series with an antenna area added to at the top. I don't remember ever seeing the pictures here but PDABuzz has some at- http://www2.pdabuzz.com/Forums/showt...threadid=32603. It does look like it will be a cool device, can't wait to find out more details this next week.

:lol:
That was funny. It's a shame that the US gets mobile technologies so much later than some other countries. It's also a shame about the number of disparate telecommunications systems in the US, maybe these are linked...

Linked? :wink: That's then entire reason! Europe is united with GSM/GPRS, while the US and Canada are a mish-mash of CDMA, TDMA, GSM, and iDEN. It's a freakin' mess. :cry:

It is quite sad I must admit, why can't these US companies get a life and try to organize a bit? :cry:

Extreme free market effect. Very much a shame. We have kind of the opposite here in Australia, standard infrastructure and a duopoly (with a main leader). I am waiting for the day when the government here sells the rest of Telstra (see end for more info) and it all goes to hell. They dictate pricing and services, down to *increasing* the cost of broadband! It quite weird really. I just hope that the government here with get some sense about them and privatise the company but keep control of the infrastructure, this could prevent the US situation.
I was being sarcastic before with the "maybe this is linked" comment...

telstra: was govenment owned single provider of telecommunications in AU, govenment has started to privatise (makes budget look good) and telstra have been doing excellent things ever since (more sarcasam). There is another player in the market - Optus (best braodband available, if you can get it!) but they are crippled with paying fees to telstra.

Jason!
"Sometimes" I'm happy to live in Europe... ;-) Yes, I will go to Cannes on Monday until Thursday and will have a meeting on the HP booth too. :-) I will cover the latest developments on Pocket PC Writer.Net for sure, so step in. As far as I've heard we will see "tons" of news!? Wait and see...
