New PDA

[air-turk]

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this or not, but I was visiting CES 2003 and came across this new pda from HP.

It is a little bit bulky, but the nice thing is it is truly mobile. Very intuitive design.

The specs were not released yet. They must have crammed several processors, a few gig memory and a few micro hard-drives. Yeah it will generate a little bit of heat, but then you can hug it if you get cold.

Can't wait to have one !

[Stanley Tan]

Yeah, you can definitely hug this one if you get cold! :D

[FredMurphy]

The position of the fringerprint reader worries me. 8O

[Delta737]

Can't wait for the specs!!! What would the battery life be. Another 60 years?? :lol: 8) :D

[Hakle]

[air-turk]

Is the reset button at the back?

[Janak Parekh]

Seriously - there's a pic of a PPC Phone (http://www.kocalar.com/~erturkk/CES2003/DSC01083.JPG), PPC Radio (http://www.kocalar.com/~erturkk/CES2003/DSC01100.JPG), a new Zaurus (http://www.kocalar.com/~erturkk/CES2003/DSC01106.JPG), and more...

[Vincent M Ferrari]

Finally a handheld that's smaller than the old Ipaq's :-)

Sorry, couldn't resist.

[Stuart]

So uh, we can assume the slot in the rear is not a new CF slot? 8O

[ECOslin]

Neat enhanced cell phone, Jonathan1. MS embedded?

[jojo]

Can't wait for the specs!!! What would the battery life be. Another 60 years?? :lol: 8) :D

It properbly need to be switch off and regenerate for about 6hrs a day. :wink: Not to mention the reliability and functionality will decline over the life span of the machine 8O

It's got speakers, keys of a sort, track display number, and neon like tubing. It must be a musical instrument.

:D

I'd like to see you get that thing onto a plane!

[szamot]

Now if I told you guys that the hottest chick was inside that PPC costume - no one would complain about the position of the bio-scanner. In fact most of you would just be happy with the scan option and would not care about the other fine features of this device. Hummm :)

Just a thought.

So if you don't let it recharge overnight does work slower and faulty the next day. :D It seems a little large for my liking but I dig the large screen.

[Ekkie Tepsupornchai]

Despite it's size, you don't have to worry about carrying it around as it seems to be able to transport itself with no problems.

[myung]

Well well ... the screen is not good enough, AFAIK. :wink:

[nGage]

Is it a dual processor? I notice 2 ARMs on it. Then again with those two ARM's and the Joypad where it is... I'll leave the rest to your imagination! 8O

[Kirk Stephens]

The position of the fringerprint reader worries me. 8O

:lol:

[ironguy]

Can it do landscape mode?

If I use it in my home theater, what resolution will I get...and will it need potty breaks?

[SofaTater]

That thing is a brick.

This may be the first PDA that has a pocket that can carry the user.

:lol: This is a good thread. :lol:

I'll have one - but - what are the slots use for? 8O

:rofl:!!! I think that was the funniest/most clever line so far in this thread. :lol:
