We thought we’d bring you an update since publishing our original article “What’s next for the iPAQ Pocket PC?”. Not too long ago, HP confirmed much of the rumors that were rampant on the internet and launched the H1910 and H5450 models which confirmed much of the information that was published in our original rumor gathering article. HP has once again taken a great product and made it a better product.
Now of course, there are still a few rumors that are just that - rumors - until they are proven otherwise by HP. Future generations of iPAQ Pocket PC’s will no doubt include more hardware integration into the device itself as has been proven in the past (i.e. Bluetooth, WLAN, Biometrics, removable battery).
Sounds like the next logical hardware integration would be what we have started seeing in other Pocket PC’s like GPS, telephony (CDMA/1xRTT, GSM/GPRS), TV Tuner, and digital camera’s.
