HP iPaq Pocket PC H5450
http://computers.cnet.com/hardware/0-2709830-404-20665470.html?tag=ld
Well, well. The cat is finally out of the bag - CNET has posted an article about the 5450. If you've been following this site closely, not much will strike you as being new, but it's nice to see a confirmation. Go check it out.
"As you might expect, a fully loaded handheld such as the H5450 isn't going to be superlightweight; this model tips the scales at 7.26 ounces and measures 5.23 inches long (5.43 inches when you include the length of the Wi-Fi antenna). The H5450 boasts the 3900 series' same sharp, 65,000-color, transflective TFT display. Under the hood, you'll find a 400MHz Intel XScale processor, 64MB of built-in memory, and a whopping 48MB of ROM. That ROM is chock-full of software extras, including the iPaq fingerprint reader and the Nevo universal-remote-control application. And yes, the unit contains consumer-grade IR along with Bluetooth."
There's an awesome high-resolution picture over at Pocket PC Tools.

The CNet article also links to the new low cost iPaq, the H1910. According to CNet, the H1910 will retail for $300 and the 5450 will be close to $700 (!!!).

Also noticed that the H1910 article states that it will come with a "200MHz Intel PXA 250 processor". Is this true? Even the "low-end" Dell is coming with the 300MHz version so this can't be good for HP...

Curious why the article did not mention the removable battery or if it has increased battery power. I don't know about the rest of you, but I am going to wait for the GSM/GPRS version. Then we will be talking!

I think H1910 is not very convincing. It's $300 with 200Mhz and only 48MB accessible? ...mmm..... nothing special, downright ho-hum, even depressing
It's really light and tiny tho'
iPAQ h1910 = 6.71 cubic (4.46"x 2.75"x 0.50") 4.23 oz. $299 <-----
Palm m500 = 5.58 cubic (4.5"x3.1"x0.4") 4.0 oz.
ViewSonic V35 = 5.76 cubic (4.8"x3.0"x0.4") 4.2 oz. $275
Toshiba e310 = 6.08 cubic (4.9"x3.1"x0.4")5.1 oz. $349
Tungsten = 7.20/8.64 cubic (4.0/4.8"x 3.0"x 0.6")5.6 oz. $470
girlie PDA!.....made for purse and pocket. 8O

Hey, if you look at the higher res pic closely near the RECORD button, doesn't it seem a little different? It seems from the picture it is a tad longer and it recessed a little more than usual... maybe i'm just wishing it was a jog dial instead... Anyway, it looks like they moved the screen back up where the 3600 series was... let's hope the smaller speaker output thing doesn't muffle the sound (assuming they used the same speaker)
OFF TOPIC: how come I have to login every single time even when i set it to remember me? I don't think this has to do with my cache, because I can get into brighthand and other things fine... maybe there is a cookie i have that is causing problems...

Am I the only one who sees the "vibrating" mode icon in the task bar? Just like the PPC Phone Editions? I'm thinkin' a new feature...
(Also notice the "faked" Bluetooth icon in the hi-res pic.)
To think, I only bought my 3975 2 months ago... Sniff...
