The iPAQ hx2000 Series And Its Flipcover
Ed over at Brighthand wrote in with a nifty newsbit: the iPAQ 2000 series devices are going to have an over-the-top flipcover. Looks like the Jornada designers are still there... somewhere. 
"It appears that HP designers have finally begun to listen, as a flipcover will soon be part of multiple iPAQ models. Of course, the hx4700 is one of these. Its flipcover attaches to the left side and can be flipped around to the back. This model will soon be joined by the iPAQ hx2000 series. According to photos that were leaked to Brighthand, the handhelds in this series will also include flipcovers. These will be translucent plastic and connect near the top of the Pocket PCs, allowing them to be flipped up and out of the way (see picture at right)."
Way to go, HP. :clap:

After 845,863 threads, 10,987,613 posts in various forums, 3,675,981 emails, 6540 news, and enews articles, and millions of rants worldwide, HP finally got the idea that a flip lid might be a good idea. 8O

BTW...Janak, you may want to change the title from 2200 series to 2000 serise.

I'm not too happy with the spec though.
For one: Bluetooth 1.1? want 1.2.
The previous post said that it would be QVGA, then what's TFT VGA, is that QVGA?
I like the large storage space and the finger print reader but that should have been on the h4700.
It would be interesting to see how these come out after the Dell X50v threat and the First Loox 720 passes over, hint, im leaning hard to either one.
:devilboy:

I used to use a palm IIIc and i never used a case because of its flip pad. Its nice to see HP implenmenting the flip cover design. Saves alot of money for people who try to find the right case for their ppc. :wink:
