The new iPAQ Pocket PCs are official

By Peter Rojas

Those long-rumored new iPAQ Pocket PCs from HP are officially official now, and you gotta give it up to HP for not freaking out when leaked specs and pics turned up all over — they obviously get that this kind of buzz is good for them, unlike some other companies. The details aren't exactly a surprise for anyone who has been following this, but because we hardly expect anyone else to be as obsessively geeky as us, we'll run over the line-up again:

  • The hx4705 – The flagship,
    with a 4-inch VGA resolution LCD screen, a 624MHz processor, 192MB of memory, integrated touchpad, built-in 802.11b
    WiFi, Bluetooth, and CompactFlash and SD expansion card slots.

  • The h6315 – HP's new Pocket
    PC Phone, with quad-band GSM/GPRS, built-in 802.11b WiFi and Bluetooth, integrated VGA quality digital camera, a
    200MHz processor, 64MB of RAM, SD expansion card slot, a 3.5-inch LCD screen, and an attachable mini-keyboard..

  • The rx3100 – They're dubbing
    the rx3100 a "Mobile Media Companion", and it comes with 64MB of RAM, built-in 802.11b WiFi and Bluetooth, a
    3.5-inch LCD screen, an SD expansion card slot, and software for wirelessly browsing your music, photo, and video
    collection from anywhere in your home and so you can use the rx3100 as a universal remote control.

  • The rx3700 – Another Mobile
    Media Companion, the rx3700 has the same media and universal remote software as the rx3100, a 400MHz
    processbuilt-in WiFi and Bluetooth, a 3.5-inch LCD screen, and an SD expansion card slot, but also has a built-in
    1.2 megapixel digital camera.

  • The rx3415 – HP's third
    Mobile Media Companion, the rx3400 is similar to the rx3700, just with less memory and a 300MHz processor.

  • The rz1715 – Their low-end
    Mobile Media Companion, the rz1715 only has a 203MHz processor, 32MB of RAM, a 3.5-inch LCD screen, an SD expansion
    card slot, but no WiFi or Bluetooth.

  • The rz1700 – And lastly, the
    rz1700 is their new entry-level Pocket PC, which is basically the rz1715 without the media software.
