HP UK's Video Presentation of the iPAQ hw6500 Series
HP UK has put together a Flash-based video presentation of the iPAQ hw6500 Mobile Messenger series. It's a neat 5-minute overview of what the devices are capable of, so check it out if you're interested.
All this follows HP Singapore's recent announcement of the availability of the iPAQ hw6515 from July 1, onwards.

Saw this a little earlier and I must admit that I was more impressed with the presentation than with the actual device.
A little thing that bothered me...why did they not have the woman in the video use a bluetooth headset so she could still work and use the phone at the same time? I guess they may have wanted to show that you could really use it as a phone up to your ear.
As far as the device itself...I am definately going to take a wait and see approach....

UK video of new HP pda
you can't really say that this video is meant for the UK. Giveaways include the picture of a man in a LHD car, and the use of "real estate" rather than "Estate Agent" - the correct phrase for the UK.
Aside from this, little new that cannot be done by any recent pda with bt and a bt phone.
The nav software looked like Tom Tom - is this included in the specs?

Why can't they get the driver on the right side of the car? This is the UK website, right?

The presenter didn't sound very english - sounded more like American with a big hint of a middle european overtones. Whilst it was hosted on a UK site this was not a UK production. For correct viewing hold you laptop in front of a mirror. :wink:
I was impressed with the airport that just happened to have a mobile BT/iRda printer lying around for the guy to print to - and hey - print first time too! 8O

..comes with an attractive software voucher...
|
So, is the printing of this voucher particularly impressive? :lol:
The presenter sounds (and looks) Swedish. It is indeed quite an impressive little presentation. Shame that the device isn't quite as good as it should be. 240x240 = no deal for me.
Kudos to HP for having a version with no camera though! I am going to recommend this device to a few folks I know that were looking for something like this and won't mind the screen limitation.
