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.

      Nathan, you are a retard! Yes, a retard. "Whole" is not spelled "hole" as you have it on your website, which is little more than a piece of shit smeared on a computer screen. Delete it now or I will kill you.

      Some may says that Napster is ruining the music industry, and i must disagree. I am a Proud Napster user. Napster truley helps the small bands. I have downloaded music from unsigned bands, and have liked it. It is a good boost for a unsigned band. I have found Napster as a try b4 you buy program. I download music from Napster, from different artists, and if i like there music, i will buy there cd. I think it is Stupid to pay $18 for a cd, to find out it sucks, and it was a total ripoff. I think it is wrong to have your hole music collection from napster, and never buy a single cd. Many bands work hard to make cd's, so i think if you want a cd, you should buy it, not just download the hole cd.

  5. 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!

  6. Stephen King, author, dead at 54 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll


    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
