HP Has New iPAQs For Sale On Website...
...Sort of. Don't go starting a stampede - the new iPAQs (H2210, H1930, H1940, H5550, H5150) are listed under the "education" section of the site - there's no direct link to any of these products as of yet. The information is sparse in some instances - there is virtually no information whatsoever regarding the specs of the 2210, and the pictures haven't been updated - but clicking around on some of the other devices yielded some information as to their specs.
To get there, follow these links from www.compaq.com: Government & Education > k12 Education: How to buy > k-12 Education Store > handhelds > hp ipaq Pocket PC.
A few tidbits:
� The H1930 supports SDIO and looks to be priced at $244
� The H1940 has integrated Bluetooth and is priced at $293
� The H5550 is priced at $636
They all come with Pocket PC 2003, with HP going for two different versions, "pro" for the 1930 and 1940, and "premium" for the 5550 and 5510.

Went through process to order..
Followed link and it allowed me to enter a credit card. Although I'm a teacher, it didn't require any special check.
I didn't submitt order though because there was seemingly no mention of shipment date- plus I'd like to see pricing of the 2200 series first.

This will be interesting: The 1940 with a 266MHz Arm would THEORETICALLY be 30% faster than the 2210 with the 400MHz XScale chip (if all other considerations were the same). The potential problem - poor battery life. I wonder whatever made HP go with completely different processors? Maybe this is a legacy of Jornada development?

I've been thinking how funny it would be if the 266mhz Samsung chip kicked the 400mhz X-Scale's butt. That would also make HP's low end 1945 faster than its flagship 5550

The links I posted had different prices, perhaps because I chose a school district near me that has negotiated a lower price. They were: - 1930 -- $222
- 1940 -- $267
- 2210 -- N/A
- 5150 -- $490
- 5550 -- $579

very cool - but I am still waiting for a better PPCPE to come along. I am so sick and tired of carrying around two devices....
*sigh*

The 5150 seems to be a 5550, but with 64MB RAM instead... ROM may be different too, I don't remember the specs exactly.

Does anyone else hear Van Halen in their head when you read about the 5150?
"It's 5150 time!"

all the reports i've read show that PPC2003 will be optimized for xscale. funny how hp would switch to a non-optimized processor...
