HP’s Raj Bhavani shows off the iPAQ 610, which I’m posting here because I like the guys at notebooks.com and I am still stunned that HP thinks that any self-respecting road warrior would purchase a hunky iPAQ, even if it does come unlocked. I GUESS if your IT team passes these out you’d use them, but it has a 3-megapixel camera and no keyboard, so most folks will probably pass. I don’t know why I’m so angry at these products today, but I am. These things are so far off the mark this year that it’s scary.

HP needs to get a clue. Have they not seen the iPhone? Who wants to carry around a brick in their pocket? This is old tech they’re trying to pass off as new and innovative. Give me a mobile 6 device with an iPhone form-factor and I’ll be happy.

what exactly about this is old tech, especially compared to the iphone?
the iphone doesnt have gps, it has a lower resolution camera, and only supports edge data speeds where this phone supports hsdpa. this supports a2dp as well where the iphone doesnt.

John, Some people actually work for living and their phone is for more than just posing.
This works around the world
This can sync with buisness email systems like Exchange
This can actually view and modifiy Office docs like Xcel and Word, you the software that most people do actual work on.
None of which the lame iPhone will do

Sorry to disappoint you folks, but the product has been canceled for North America
From HP:
“Due to recent legal issues between suppliers of mobile phone technologies, HP has decided not to offer the iPAQ 610 Business Navigator to U.S. customers as previously planned.”
