It's kind of funny at what speed some technology areas are rapidly just zooming past us. It's not unusual that a handheld pc is considered old after six months and being replaced by some other more powerful and feature rich model.
If you think about how far technology has advanced, especially in the realm of hand held computers and cellular phones, then you will be amazed at the difference a few years can make. The line of iPAQ Pocket PCs has certainly come a long way since it first made its debut back in 1982.
The HP 75 was a very basic PDA and had just one line of text available, it was more of a prototype of what was to come. Its successor, the HP200Lx was the next evolution with a new keyboard with the same US layout that most of us use today.
But where does that bring in the Compaq iPAQ Pocket PCs that were so prevalent on the market? Well, you may not realize it, but Compaq was taken over by Hewlett Packard and so the Compaq iPAQ pocket pc became the HP versions with new technology. How new? In February of 2007, HP announced its new HP iPAQ Pocket PC H5550 series line of Smartphones. These Smartphones are a combination of cellular technology and pocket PCs.
For pocket pc lovers, this is a huge bonus. This will be in direct competition with Apple's iPhone. The iPhone has been enjoying record sales even at its steep price tag of $399. The iPAQ 500 series will not come cheap either. You can expect this phone to retail in the same price range and offer some of the same great features of the iPAQ line, such as an XScale processor and quite a bit of RAM.
Do not panic and worry about not being able to understand the technology that pushes these little marvels. It can be confusing at times and there are plenty of handheld PCs for every person's needs. If the iPAQ does not seem to be fitting your needs, then you can always turn to rival manufacturers, such as Palm for the PalmOs or you can turn to RIM's Blackberry.
Don't forget, there are several rival manufacturers and plenty to choose from, such as RIM's Blackberry or Palm for the PalmOS. Just remember that whatever model you purchase, high end or sneak model, it's probably outdated in a year or so.
