HP Announces PDA With Seamless GPRS / Wi-Fi Roaming

Jul 26, 2004, 8:50 AM by (staff)

HP today unveiled a new line of iPAQ handheld devices. The lineup includes the h6315, the company's first handheld with built-in mobile phone capabilities. The h6315 is also one of the first devices to include three types of radios: GSM/GPRS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. The unit will be available for T-Mobile USA, and includes special software that allows the device to automatically use the faster Wi-Fi data connection when in range of a T-Mobile HotSpot, and automatically fall back to T-Mobile's GPRS network at other times. The h6315 will be available from T-Mobile later this summer.

wow, who cares

Anyone see TechTV where they were demoing off the VZW 3G aircards?
