HP iPAQ hx2200 Has Links On HP's Support Site - Launch Near?
http://www.ipaqabilities.com/iaforums/viewtopic.php?t=298
HP has added support pages for the hx2200 series iPAQ. iPAQabilities has been following the rumors of this apparent successor to the popular 2215.
Specs include:
� Intel X-Scale PXA270 316 MHz processor
� 64MB ROM / 64MB RAM
� Windows Mobile 2003SE
� 3.5" Transflective QVGA
� Bluetooth
� SDIO and CompactFlash slots :rock on dude!: CF Rules!
I'm glad they are making one with an integrated CF slot. In my trip to Brazil last month, the only broad band available at any hotel or business I was at was CAT5 wired ethernet, so getting online with my 2215 was no problem when I plugged in my CAT5 CF card. :mrgreen:
iPAQabilities has a price of $349 for the above specs. For $549, you get all of the above plus a 624Mhz processor, 128MB RAM, 64MB ROM, a 64MB ROM filestore, 802.11b and a larger battery.

Hmm, interesting.
My x30 high comes soon. Paid $296 for it... "only" thing it's missing is the CF slot. I can do without it, as really the only peripheral I was using in the CF was the wireless which will be built-in. I have a 128MB CF card in there for backups but I can do it to the SD slot.
I'll be curious to read the reviews, but for the price I paid for the x30, the hx2200 is a bit steep (at least on paper!)
edit: oh and about half the memory. sorry sven! :wink:

Nice specs, but surely for $549 for a future model I would expect VGA too?

I wouldn't really call my 2210 overweight.

One word. UGLY! That said, CF does not make your device THAT much larger. The e740 and e755 from Toshiba were ONLY slightly thicker then my 4355. Although now I have a CF modem I can't use. Anyone wanna buy it??

Now this IMHO is a very attractive PDA. HP might just get out of my dog house. But at this point I'll just wait and see what develops.

Your X30 is also short about 30M of user ROM, 64M of RAM and 490mAh of battery from those specs, all of which typically drive up price, plus the CF slot. Are those worth the $$? Could be. Becomes a personal choice at that point I think. I could see the advantage of having all my programs in the 64M File Store, and being able to put a CF GPS and a map loaded SD in the slots. And having 128M to run it in.
I'm hoping that picture is squashed a bit, looks too square. No VGA is a bit unfortunate.

Ed,
There's a small typo in your headline. I think it should be "HP iPAQ hx 2000..." series, since there seems to be a hx2100, hx2400, and hx2700.
I think this is the best looking out of the new batch of iPAQs, but I'm holding out (for now) for VGA on the 4705. If the 4700s are delayed much longer, I'll take a look at the 2700, since it seems to have everything else I want.
