Amid a declining handheld market, HP fends off users demanding a recall of 'defective' iPaq devices.
Hewlett-Packard launched a range of new mobile business products in Sydney today, including laptops, an iPAQ and the company's first mobile thin client.
Hewlett-Packard has acquired Bitfone, which makes management software for mobile devices, for an undisclosed amount, the companies announced on Wednesday.
Shouldered aside by recent entrants into the smartphone and mobile e-mail market, HP sees a tougher focus on business users, enterprise markets and device management as keys to regaining its leadership.
Although sold as a 'consumer entertainment' notebook, the swivelling PDA-style touch screen on HP's newest laptop could have strong appeal to the small business market.
Commentary: With the rise and rise of PDA specifications, will they begin to replace notebooks for real business tasks?
The choice of operating system for a personal digital assisant (PDA) is effectively down to two" Palm OS or Pocket PC"but the variety of choices for the handheld itself is very impressive. We test three of the best, and see what's coming up soon.
An internal Dell Computer document leaked onto the Internet offers a sneak peek at the company's plans for the handheld market.
Early buyers won't get all the power they bargained for in the latest Pocket PC-based handhelds. A generational mismatch in the gear is taking the pluck out of performance.
What's the best smartphone for your business? BlackBerry, iPhone, Nokia, or even HTC, Samsung or Android? In a ZDNet.com.au feature, we investigate businesses and talk to CIOs and executives to find out which handsets are picking up speed and which are falling by the wayside.
Though it comes with some business-centric security features, this iPaq falls short when compared with other Windows Mobile devices out there.
The iPAQ Voice Messenger is at best, mediocre. There's nothing here that HTC, BlackBerry or Apple don't already do better, and unless your company already has a great HP contract, it's hard to recommend.
The HP iPAQ 912c defines the middle of the road. When you consider its performance versus the price, the 912c is passable but painfully average.
There aren't many choices for dedicated, low-cost PDAs, so it's good to know that the 112 Classic pretty much gets all the basics right at an affordable price.
HP's latest iPAQ, the 612c Business Navigator, is a solid offering with lots of features and good battery life. It's a bland-looking and giant handset, but good performance and crisp touchscreen somewhat make up for the poor keypad.
