HP iPaq 6900 series
Every business traveller wants one device that does everything and makes toting a notebook unnecessary. The new iPaq 6955 doesn’t quite do this yet, but it comes closer than any other handheld.
This is because HP has managed to cram five radios into a device no bigger than handhelds from competitors. The 6955 has two cellular radios (data and voice), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and — most impressively—on-board GPS. This iPaq works as a phone and a conduit for voice mail and the Internet; it can connect to Bluetooth devices such as notebooks and printers; owners can make use of free wireless hotspots to save on cell fees; and the built-in satellite-based navigation will guide you to a business meeting in an unfamiliar city.
The Windows Mobile 5 device will start at $699, before carrier discounts, and will be available first from Rogers.
