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.

    And when did Palm get color?

    And when did Palm get actual, full-desktop VPN?

    And when did Palm get instant messaging?

    Adn when did Palm get wireless LAN?

    You can't compare PalmOS to PocketPC. They serve different purposes. PocketPC is meant as a replacement for a laptop in the cases where a laptop would be an overkill. PalmOS is meant to be a PDA [meaning a contact list/organizer] only.
