HP iPaq Pocket PC H1910
http://computers.cnet.com/hardware/0-2709830-404-20665487.html?tag=ld
So remember that picture we posted here a while back that most of you thought was fake? You should have known better! :wink: I think it's actually a pretty good looking device, and with 48 MB of RAM and a removable battery, this might do quite well against the Dell and Viewsonic devices.
"We first caught a peek at the H1910 about a month ago and now have a preproduction unit in our hands. We're impressed that HP has managed to reduce the size of the device without shrinking the screen. Toshiba's e310 and new e330, for example, are thin and light but have the disadvantage of being longer than Palm devices, which makes them less pocket-friendly. Meanwhile, the H1910 measures 4.46 by 2.75 by 0.50 inches--about half an inch shorter and narrower than most other Pocket PC devices, which makes a big difference. And at just 4.23 ounces, it won't tear out the seam in your pocket, either."
� OS: Pocket PC 2002
� Processor: Intel XScale PXA 250, 200 MHz
� Display: Transflective type TFT color with LED backlight, 64K colors
� Memory: 16MB Flash/64 MB RAM (46 MB user accessible)
� Slots: SD/MMC slot
� Battery: 900mAH, Lithium-Ion user swappable battery
A high-resolution image can be found at Pocket PC Tools.

My God. Can someone enlarge the picture from PocketPC Tools? I can't quite make out its sub-atomic structure.

200MHz XScale????? 8O :? 
400MHz XScales can barely keep pace with the 206MHz StrongARMs, what is HP thinking? This thing may be better looking, but for the same price the new Dell will give you a 400MHz XScale, dual slots, 64MB RAM. Come on HP, at least clock that up to 300MHz. Sorry, this is pretty disappointing........

What puzzles me is the fact that the power button location and the looks of the bottom part of the device looks awfully similar to its competition.

OK, so in review, it's ugly, it's slow, it's got a weak (yet user removable) battery, and it's memory is limited...
Great job HP!

Yep, probably the only place that stupid, annoying image shrinking feature of IE6 ever came in handy.

What a disappointment... particularly the 200MHz X-Scale; that's just unbelievable. Perhaps they're planning on selling them with Palm OS installed? Looks like Viewsonic and Dell are going to lead the pack as far as low-cost PocketPCs are concerned.

heh
Not just the procesor
The rom is only 16mb and from the ram only 48 is useable wich leads me to think that part of the ram is deliberatly left out from users hands in order to fit the entire PPC2k2 OS on the system.
Now THAT is weak.

I agree with everyone else on this one, this is just plain dissapointing. Dell's low end models are much better than this.
And c'mon.... a 900mAh battery? I know it's removable and all, but that is a bad move in my point of view. Didn't all the previous ipaq lines have a 1300 or 1400 mAh battery built in??
BTW, the article in the link that Jason posted (cnet), mentions that the sleeves and sleds from the previous ipaq lines are incompatible with (at least) the low end ipaq model(s). Guess that means shelling out more money to get a new sleeve. :roll:
Get with the program HP, otherwise the competition will beat you in the low-end PPC battle.
Just my 2cents worth.
