HP To Deploy AGPS Smart Phones In May 2005

Source.

More AGPS handsets are on the way…

Designated the HP iPaq hw6500 series, the GSM/GPRS/EDGE devices are aimed at exploiting opportunity represented by the remaining sentiment towards pocket PC/exchange devices as well as the desire amongst corporate and SME users to have instant, always-on email in the same fashion as the popular BlackBerry from Research in Motion.

…

It is understood that the new hw6500 series will come in two versions — with or without a 1.3 megapixel digital camera. The device will also make use of a new global positioning position (GPS) technology called AGPS that works twice as fast as existing GPS systems.

Feel free to link to product reviews etc in the comments below.

    Always-On e-mail will not be supported on the hw6500 because the device will be shipped with Windows Mobile 2003 2nd Ed. and that OS does not support “always-on” e-mail. An OS upgrade to the upcoming Windows Mobile 2005 is necessary for that functionality.

    Good point, Stewart. Thanks for clarifying.
