No iPAQ 610 For USA

[Jon Westfall]

<i>"You recently registered via HP's website to be notified when the HP iPAQ 610 Business Navigator is available to purchase. We appreciate your interest in this product. However, due to recent legal issues between suppliers of mobile phone technologies, HP has decided not to offer the iPAQ 610 Business Navigator to U.S. customers as previously planned.”</i><br /><br />One wonder what legal issues were so huge as to avoid a USA Launch of the 610, and no doubt this is not going to make US customers happy. Anyone have a theory as to this news that means, yet again, an iPAQ will either not be released or will be delayed until antiquity?

I guess it's still the Qualcomm case:

It's only a matter of time now we will be hearing about the on-line petition to force HP to release this in the US.

Yeah, I frankly get shocked a little when I see anyone talking about Ipaqs. They used to be THE pda but HP fook over and axed thier inovative lines that coulof been huge. Now everytime I take a link for a new IPaq that HP has come out with it is just dissapointing ..like they have no ambition. Its quite sad realy.
