iPaq 1915
Apparently, the European release of the iPaq 1910 was pushed back to make way for a 1915 unit, which among other things, may have integrated Bluetooth. If that's the case, it would be one killer unit! This isn't confirmed, but we will definitely post an update as more details are available (the unit is slated to ship in the 2nd quarter).

Sound's interesting....
Hi,
While there at it why don't they increase the Flash size (64MB would be good) so the additional space can be used as a built in storage card to hold the applications missing from the OS as well as other user installed apps/games. This would free RAM for running programs and data.

If HP could do that and keep it at, say, $349 or $399, they'd have a killer device. I still haven't seen one of these in person, but they look so small and sexy.

Why can't they add the CF slot without the sleeve concept in addition to the above? Seems as if Toshiba has figured it out.
I'm looking for my upgrade from my 568, but the CF (sleeveless) is a big thing.

for some reason, HP has't released these in Canada yet. I've called around and nobody seems to have any information on when they'll get them in. I'm seriously looking at orderig it from Amazon.com. This 1915 sounds nice, but I would rather see more memory before integrated BT.

It HAS 64MB of RAM. The issue with it is that some of it is used up to hold the operating system. There are two ways to approach the problem:
1. Add more RAM to keep the available memory high, or
2. Add more Flash to store the applications not currently being used.
The advantage of option #1 would be no need to load programs into memory to run them as they're already there, but it has the disadvantage of using more power to keep the RAM from loosing its memory.
The advantage of option #2 is lower cost (the reason NAND Flash is used in the first place) and lower power useage, but the disadvantage is that some form of program removal from RAM would be needed. I used WISbar and always fully shut down programs I'm not going to be using again any time soon.
Thoughts...

Increase the ROM to 32MB and I'll buy it! 32MB ROM, 48MB usable RAM without having to take some of that and put WMP, REader, Terminal Server, etc. and it is a solid device IMHO.

That's the real question. If HP can market this for $399, it will surely put a world of hurt on Palm's Tungsten T sales.

And the Axim. A lot more for a little more money.
