Default HP Has No Plans For Combo Device

"But an integrated device is not a path HP intends to pursue. The company has canned the Jornada 628 [sic] smartphone it has been selling in the UK for just less than a year and won�t be launching an integrated iPaq PDA any time soon. �We�ve done extensive market research and come to the conclusion that consumers prefer a two-piece solution of mobile phone and PDA communicating via Bluetooth,� said Antoine Barre, HP European vice president. �The market isn�t ready for sophisticated devices, although businesses are crying out for them in terms of manageability.�

That is fine with me personally. A PDA with a screen large enough to use is too big to hold up to your ear and a device small enough to hold to your head has a screen that is too small to be useful. Of course, that is my personal opinion and I hope devices like the Samsung i700 are met with great success. I'll keep my dual device lifestyle.
