Hewlett-Packard is recalling almost 16,000 notebook batteries worldwide after reports of the devices overheating and burning, according to a report released on Thursday by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Hewlett-Packard on Friday recalled 135,000 battery packs sold with its notebook computers shipped globally from March 2004 to May 2005.
Several Crusoe-based notebooks are slated to hit the U.S. market this spring, including a budget-priced model from NEC and a Hello Kitty Casio with optional Linux.
Hewlett-Packard and Compaq's merger plans raise questions about which firm's handheld range will survive in the long term, but both are likely to continue for the present.
Compaq Computer will announce October 4 that it will begin shipping two new iPaq handhelds using the new version of Microsoft's Pocket PC software and will offer a wireless communications expansion pack, sources say.

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.
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.
From its large onboard memory and SD card slot to the implementation of a 3.5mm audio jack and scroll wheel, the iPaq rx4540 combines a well-thought-out feature set with a compact design to appeal to users who plan to use their handhelds for mobile entertainment.
The HP iPaq hx2790 is a PDA for those who are looking for a traditional, businesscentric approach to ultraportable computing and don't mind paying for it.
The HP iPaq rx1950 offers great features in a sleek package.
The HP Compaq Presario V4114AP is a notebook aimed at the consumer market with an eye more towards budget than blazing performance.
