"iPAQ h4350 series not coming to EMEA" - infoSync World
"A spokesperson for Hewlett-Packard today confirmed that the company's first handheld with an integrated thumbboard, the recently announced iPAQ h4350 series, will not be made available to customers in the EMEA region, citing the product not having been developed with this market in mind. Previously, the manufacturer has also opted to refrain from adding the iPAQ h5100 series to the portfolio of iPAQs sold in EMEA markets, although for which reason is uncertain."
What!? 8O I wonder if it's due to language issues and them having to have a different physical keyboard for every language...still, it's sad to hear this. The 4350 is a very nice device! FYI - EMEA stands for "Europe, Middle East, Africa".
UPDATE: Of course, even if HP isn't officially releasing the 4350 in the EMEA markets, you can still order one 8) . [Affiliate]

Since it's not obvious from your affiliate's site, I'm assuming these are still not available from any source in the U.S...Correct? Please say no. Tell me I'm wrong. Please! :drool:

That's a shame. HP is the #1 PDA vendor in EMEA as of last quarter. Maybe if the North American response is good enough, they'll reconsider.

When they mean Europe, they must surely not mean the UK. They invented English and we brought it over here, they must sell there. It would be wierd if it wasn't sold there.

EMEA includes the UK. My point about the language on the keyboard was pure speculation - I'm sure there are other reasons.

You would have been disappointed - they say EMEA in the article as well. :wink:

Do these guys ship to the UK, then? If so, how much for? The way the Dollar is collapsing against the pound at the moment means $500 is coming up less than �300 now, and for a PDA, let alone an iPAQ 4350, its very cheap. I'd probably expect �500 in the UK...
Anyway, I'm getting carried away with the thought, but if they don't ship to UK, are they any online American retailers that do?
