HP Planning Updated iPAQs?
"HP's booths were active at the CES this year. Not just active with tons of products, but with buzz about their iPAQ line that has been disappointing as of late. Some of the more loose lipped reps talked about a redesign coming for the h6300 Windows Mobile phone and the entry level rz1715."
There's not a whole lot of detail in the article, but the idea makes sense. I don't quite understand HP's lineup at all right now -- the 17xx units are budget-featured but not budget-priced, the new 2xxx and 3xxx units are powerful but lacking VGA and it's tough to determine the better unit, the 4700 is powerful but large and has less memory, and the 6315 doesn't even have WM2003SE. Let's see if HP can get their act together a little bit.

yea
they still have their ipaq 4150/4350 on their site.
the only reason they still have it is because its still their best overall PDA, even though it was released OVER a year ago....
After all these new models/series, id say theyve taken a step back
they need to start improving or start lowering prices. or how about an wm2003se update for the 4150/4350?
(can you tell i have an 4150?)

Yeah, hopefully they get their act together. I like the VGA display on the 4700, but the touchpad instead of a D-pad turns me off. Also, the brick design makes their current line look bad. Hopefully this is fixed soon! :duh:

The poor sales is totally predicted. Don't the people designing PDA read sites like PPC thoughts? Everyone is complaing, but HP don't listen...

It would be nice if they did. Especially a redesign of that 6315. Maybe an ARM/XScale processor for better software compatability :duh: (since software is designed for it anyway) and more RAM/ROM just to start. What were they thinking :twak:

My fingers are crossed, but my eyes are looking steadily at Dell.

Yeah, right now, the X50v is the Pocket PC that I've been eyeballing... I probably won't be getting a new Pocket PC until next year though... 8)

I'm sure there individuals at HP that regularly read PPCT, but I don't know if the decision-makers do.

This is so true! After temporarily trying a BlackBerry phone combo (which was an excellent email tool) and the new 6315, I'm comfortably back with my 4355 and a Moto V600. They both work like a dream on TM's network and I even invested in a Vaja case (akin to buying a girl a diamond in my opinion), so it's here to stay for a while. The 4xxx devices were the closest HP has come to being perfect--IMHO.
That 6315 is a real pile...but I have one for sale (brand new) if anyone cares to put their disagreeing money where their mouth is.
