New Product: HP iPAQ hw6710 and hw6715 mobile messangers with GPS functions
So, I wouldn't normally announce the launch of a new HP iPAQ here, but what the heck, they have GPS functions and has "GPS navigation from TomTom." Did you read the interview article we posted that Engadget did with Magellan's Christian Bubenheim, where he said that "All mobile devices will be able to integrate GPS very cost-efficiently." He was ultimately talking about cell phones, but here we go, jump on board because here they come.
Not that this launch is new or dramatic, but in the wake of that interview, and the fact that the HP release is not primarily a "GPS based handheld", like the Garmin's M3 or M5, which is most definitely a GPS device in the form of a Pocket PC. I guess my point is that GPS functionality is going to be a barely noteworthy extention of the handheld fnctionality list much like SD cards, WiFi, a color screen, etc.
