iPAQ 3970 listed at Expansys!
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=CMQ-H3970
Expansys is currently accepting pre-orders for the iPAQ 3970 model, which seems to be very similar to the iPAQ 3870, except it has a 400MHz X-Scale processor. Of course, 64MB of RAM, Bluetooth and support for existing iPAQ sleeves are included.
Given Andy's post on the X-Scale delay though, I wouldn't expect it to ship much before July.
Thanks to Daniel for the heads up.

I don't see an HP logo on that.
So is the iPAQ H5000 not going to be compatible with the current sleeves?

Yes. The X-Scale is just Intel's branding of their 400MHz ARM chip.

Great, you click "Pre-Order" and no price
So, are they going to give us a head's up if we pre-order it and then find that the price is too high when they finally set a price?

They are simply trolling for orders here guys. In just the same manner as a couple of online resellers did recently with the Toshiba PPC, and look how that ended up. Before I put my credit card number on ther line I would like to know that the device is a little more definite than what it is now. It will come, I'm sure. BUT there are a few hurdles, and hoops to get by first.

Expansys has always been good with my credit card never charging it till it ships, besides according to Bestbuy....they will be getting the Toshiba e740 on July 7, they even have a sku for it so I am sure these new Ipaqs aren't far behind. Here's the info from over at Brighthand....
Info on the Toshiba e740 from Best Buy:
Available in stock on 07/07/02. Only integrated 802.11b (Wi-Fi) is offered. The screen is 3.5". It is listed in the Best Buy database under the SKU# 4647485. If you decide to check it out at the bricks and mortar store, ask the Best Buy employee to look through the Retailzone portal available through their Employee Toolkit. It is going to retail for $599.99. Just for kicks: employee price is $504.00.

We can only hope.
I wonder..... how many of us were taking bets that the HP570 was going to shipped on May 15th. There have been too many rumors and reports of Intel still having problems with the Xscale processor for me to be positive that it will ship on time....IMHO

Do not trust any information on the Expansys site. Just as soon as they hear of a device that is supposed to be oming they put it up for pre-orders. The fact that a 3970 is on Expansys is meaningless. They are sill taking pre-orders for the Jornada 928 for heavens sake!

I find is strange that Expansys refers to it as a StrongARM processor and not Xscale. Also why does Compaq get to release one more iPAQ and HP can't release one more Jornada?
