PDA Wars: HP Strikes Back With New Jornadas

Posted by Hemos on from the battle-to-the-death dept.

wbav writes "According to this article on cnn HP has anounced that they are releasing two new models. At 6 ounces it sports a 203 mhz processor and 32 or 64 megs of ram depending on the model. It comes with Pocket PC 2002, and support for VPNs. Very nice." I do wonder what will happen to the Jornada, given the HP purchase of Compaq - my understanding is that the iPaq has kicked far more butt then the Jornada.

  1. Hp's suck by sandman665 · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I use one at work. It blows. The screen is completely unreadable in any light but florescent. It is also slow as hell and not very upgradeable (no wireless lan for me). Then again, one of the biggest problems I have found is that the os just plain sucks. Microsoft has no clue how to design an os for a handheld; the entire thing should be in the interface hall fo shame. Apple really needs to release a handheld so that Microsoft can at least try to copy something useful.
