Official HP iPAQ hx4700 Specs Posted To HP's Site
Looks like HP's readying their website in preparation for Monday's announcement. The above link takes you to the "quick specs" for the hx4700, which includes diagrams of all the components on the unit (interestingly, looks like IR is on the bottom) as well as a list of specs:- Stunning 4" Transflective VGA TFT color display, Landscape and Portrait display modes
- Intel� PXA270 624 MHz Processor
- Integrated touchpad navigation with mouse-like cursor
- Integrated WLAN 802.11b
- Integrated Bluetooth�1 wireless technology
- Integrated IrDA FIR (fast infrared)
- HP ProtectTools security application
- Pre-installed Pocket Informant 5.0 personal information management (PIM) application
- Integrated SDIO and CF Type II expansion slots
- Magnesium-alloy body for additional durability
- Microsoft� Windows Mobile� 2003 Second Edition software for Pocket PC (Premium Edition)
- Removable/rechargeable 1800 mAh Lithiom-Ion battery
- Pocket versions of familiar applications like Microsoft� Outlook�, Word and Excel
Check out the bundled PI. Good choice, HP! :mrgreen: Additionally, the device has 192MB of "memory", of which 135MB is available: 80MB of flash (File Store), and the remainder is SDRAM. We, as well as other sites, have covered most of these specs, but it's nice to see an official set all in one place.

Awesome! Think this will finally get me to move to PI.  I had read that before but didn't know if I should believe it.

Up to 25 MB user available memory including 10 MB iPAQ File Store)

Including??? So does that mean only 15MB of usable RAM...? Can't be...!

Wo, the IR port on the 4700 series is on the bottom. What's up with that??

Good selection of Bluetooth profiles as well (I see for instance that like the 5550 this one has the headset profile)...and I note with approval "1.2 compliant".
I'm curious to see how that touchpad is exposed to programming APIs...and praying that it generates the same events as the DPad.
Has anyone seen a photo of the flip cover? (I know it's a little point, but I'm a Jornada person after all...so I have a fondness for flip covers).
80 megs of File Store is also very nice.
Oh, and after their last "Enterprise" model, it's good to see the headphone jack back in a sensible position.
Despite the device not being as pretty as I'd like, this spec has an awful lot to recommend it.

Can HP ship some to the UK please, thanks 
Must have it!!!
Some interesting stuff in the PDF:
- Only one stylus
No USB header?
Solid Blue LED for wireless connections (someone here complained about the flashing lights )
The IR port is on the bottom so not much use for a remote control
Does it use the same docking connector as the 5xxx?

Damn! I want one here in the UK too, but have to find out how expensive it is first, I'm not sure if a VGA screen really is worth it that much.
As the other points, USB headers don't tend to be pointed out too much do they? Someone will probably find it has one!
I'm gutted about the IR, I use Nevo still quite alot, not to mention my IR keyboard (but I guess it'd always be run landscape anyway)
and if it is the same docking as the 5xxx, will it be the same as the 39xx?

It doesn't have consumer IR in any case.
To be honest, I've always thought that while consumer IR on a Pocket PC is a neat trick, that's an awful lot of money to pay for a universal remote.
Now, if we start seeing applicances with Bluetooth, that could be interesting (the advantages of not having to point at the appliance in question are obvious...as is the increased range)

Pocket Informant in ROM! Finally - that frees up 2.5 Mb RAM not including the icon pack!
