New Pocket PC Released


The "big news" with this handheld release is the new OS: Windows Mobile 5.0.
So the HP iPaq rx1950 we’ve been catching glimpses of for a while now is finally officially out, and without much (or any) fanfare — HP simply listed the device on its site by way of “launch.” As noted previously, it looks a lot like the h4150 and, in fact, the two are bordering on identical. The rx1950 will be running Windows Mobile 5.0 on a 300 MHz processor, sport 32MB RAM/64MB ROM, SD/SDIO slot, and a 3.5-inch display. Notably, it’ll have WiFi but no Bluetooth. The biggest differentiator here is the price which, at $300, is quite a bit less than its predecessor went for back in its heyday.
