A new rumour about HP’s hw6900 has surfaced at Brighthand. Apparently, a customer speaking with an HP employee about the iPAQ hw6700 was told that it had been cancelled but that HP was now planning to release a new model, the iPAQ hw6900. This supports an earlier rumour that Gadgetorama posted back on December 5, 2005 about this new model.
Brighthand reports that no further information about the hw6900 was revealed during the conversation. Our information indicates that it will be a GSM/GPRS/EDGE capable device similar in shape to the hw6500. It will be powered by a more powerful 416HMz Intel processor and come with 802.11b WiFi, Bluetooth, Serial IR, 64MB of RAM and 128MB of Flash memory, will come with both GPS and camera, a 240×240 display and a miniSD slot. It will run Windows Mobile 5.0 with AKU2 (supporting push email and AD2P which allows stereo sound and CD quality sound over Bluetooth.
