For a long while it seemed the standalone Windows Mobile PDA, or Pocket PC, was a thing of the past. Now, HP has proven otherwise, giving those who enjoy the classic Pocket PC experience a reason to celebrate: the HP iPAQ 110 Series Classic Handheld.
With a design reminiscent of the h1940 and rx1950 Series iPAQ Pocket PCs, the iPAQ 110 has a curved design with a screen-dominated face and slim 0.5-inch form factor. Though the iPAQ 110 is the entry level touchscreen device in the new iPAQ family, it's by no means a wimpy PDA. Features include 256MB of flash memory (for storage), a zippy 624MHz ARM-based CPU, a Secure Digital card slot with support for SDIO peripherals as well as the new SDHC high-capacity SD cards, Bluetooth 2.0 and 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, a 3.5" TFT touchscreen display and a 1200mAh Li-Ion battery for up to 10 hours of use per charge. The iPAQ 110 also includes a standard 3.5mm headphone jack.
The iPAQ 111 is now available for purchase with an MSRP of $299. NOTE: the iPAQ 110 and 111 are the same device. HP uses model number variants to track sales venues.
