iPAQ Pocket PC Users Have New Options
http://siliconvalley.internet.com/news/article/0,2198,3531_1142341,00.html
New options for iPAQ users. Nice to see them expanding and recognizing the importance of enhanced services. <!>
"Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) Tuesday said it has scored two deals that will give its PDA users new and improved services. And we're not talking about the Jornada... No, no, no... We're talking about the iPAQ, which the Palo Alto, Calif.-based computer and printer maker acquired from Compaq Computer and has decided to pursue in its product line.
The new family of wireless products and services, called iPAQ Pocket PC Mobility Services, include wireless document management, calendar management, fax capabilities, and e-mail. The deal was made possible through partnerships with Toronto-based Infowave and Hackensack, New Jersey-based GoAmerica (NASDAQ:GOAM). In addition, HP said it would offer a new AvantGo (NASDAQ:AVGO) channel for HP news and information formatted specifically for the iPAQ Pocket PC using AvantGo's free software. The company also highlighted two new expansion packs for the iPAQ available from LifeView and Unity Digital.
...As part of the deal, HP is offering Infowave Symmetry Pro, a $19.95 a month software service that lets wireless iPAQ Pocket PC customers manage their corporate Exchange e-mail, attachments and calendar in real time. The service is secured between the desktop and the iPAQ with 256-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption technology. The company says the installation is easy enough that it needs no IT assistance or client/server architecture. Messages also can be filtered and truncated for faster downloads. "

more detail on hardware and Avantgo channel
hidden in here on the actual HP page is info on new hardware and an official HP iPAQ Avantgo page.
The FlyJacket i3800 from LifeView can transmit images from the iPAQ Pocket PC to a projector, video graphics array (VGA) monitor or TV, while maintaining an available CompactFlash slot for storing data and files. Additionally, the bundled pen-sized remote control/pointer is specifically designed to perform the task of "page up" and "page down" for Microsoft PowerPoint file presentations in conjunction with the FlyJacket i3800. The FlyJacket i3800 sells for $199.
Unity Digital's ProPower Pack battery enhancement upgrade for the iPAQ Pocket PC gives customers long-lasting battery power to capture more images, complete more tasks and enjoy more music than ever before. The ProPower Pack features a rechargeable nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery that offers 2,700 milliamp hours power usage with no memory effect, so users can recharge anytime without shortening battery life. A protective leather case with belt clip is included at no cost. This new option is available for $99.
