HP returning to the handheld PC?

Speaking of HP and handhelds, there's an encouraging sign (and we'll take what we can get at this point) that they're thinking about getting back into the handheld PC business (and by "handheld PC" we basically mean a notebook-style PDA) after a hiatus of a couple of years (one of their last models, the Jornada 720, is pictured at right). Niklas Johnsson, the director of HP's Office of Strategy and Techology and Sweden said it was possible that they'd reintroduce a some sort of handheld PC; the current flexibility in the latest version of the Pocket PC operating system certainly makes something like this feasible, but obviously we don't know anything about any specific plans in the works.
