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. Where do the #s come from? HP sold twice the PDAs by Down8 · · Score: 1, Troll

    I don't know where people are getting their numbers from on this one. HP's Jornada has outsold Compaq by almost double in the PDA department. iPaqs may be a favorite among geeks, but we all know the world isn't like the Slashdot faithful. HP has acounted for 4% of all PDA sales this year, versus Q's 2.2%.

    iPaqs cost too much to kick anybody's butt in the PDA market. I'll be upgrading my 548 to a 568 in the coming year - long live the Jornada!
