View imageHP 2133 Mini-Note is a slick PC released on April 4th. Is it a direct answer to ASUS EEE, which was a huge hit all over the world?

Sure it is, with customizable configurations starting from 1.0Ghz CPU, 512MB RAM, 4GB SSD Hard Drive, SuSE LED 10 to the top of their class at 1.6Ghz CPU, 2GB RAM, 120GB 7200 Hard Drive, Vista Business. The ASUS Eee PC 900 is also available for $550, but they can't say they have that many versions.

HP 2133 is now available in about 8 versions with prices ranging from $500 to $800. And they have one important upgrade, which can be selected when buying a Mini-Note. That is, drums rolling, the option to downgrade to XP instead of the very useful and original annoying Windows Vista.

HP iPAQ 900 Series Business Messenger

Hot off the presses! HP's new iPAQ, the HP iPAQ 900 Series, just got approved by the FCC. Featuring a ton of goodies including GPS, HSDPA support, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and more, this is one venerable all-in-one. Called a Business Messenger, the HP iPAQ 900 series is bundled with a Stylus and comes with a 1940 mAh Li-polymer rechargeable battery. For some reason, it is shipped with a wired stereo handset, but hey, it's got Bluetooth, so I'm sure you'll end up buying spankin' wireless ones.

The device features a mini USB interface. One of the nice things about the iPAQ is its QWERTY keyboard. It also features the familiar 5-way navigation key. Running on Windows Mobile 6, the device takes in microSD memory cards for added memory. There's also an on-board 3-megapixel camera with flash.

There are tons of other details available on the FCC site, go check it out in your free time (which is RIGHT NOW, people!). No word on the pricing or availability yet.

Aside from the two aforementioned companies, HP has also partnered with Compal Communications to develop three new smartphones which specs are yet to be decided. Looks like HP's going on full throttle. Let's hope they don't disappoint.

HP iPAQ 610 Business Navigator

Remember the HP iPAQ 600 series smartphone that we saw on The Whack a while ago? Well, the device has apparently been approved by the FCC although the juicy stuff - namely the photos and user manual - is still well hidden thanks to the confidentiality request put in by Hewlett-Packard.

The device, identified as B94HHI14CN, cannot be used for simultaneous operations of the WLAN and WWAN HSDPA transmitters by software control, and will prohibit co-transmission as well. If you are connected to your wireless LAN and receive a phone call, the software will shut down WLAN transmission immediately. Hopefully you were not downloading your favorite songs just then.

Expect confirmation from HP soon. Hopefully we will also get an idea of the pricing.

HP iPaq 510 Voice Messenger Gets FCC Nod

The HP iPaq 510 Voice Messenger phone that was announced at 3GSM? Well, it got FCC's approval as well. We have already seen a few important details about the phone, like for example it runs Windows Mobile 6.0 and has a pathetic 1.3 megapixel camera.

An interesting piece of info about the iPaq 510 Voice Messenger is that it cannot be used for simultaneous operation of WLAN and GSM/GPRS transmitters. Suppose you are connected to a WLAN and you get a GSM phone call, the phone automatically shuts down the WLAN mode.

If you try to use the WLAN function - no go, it's just plain blocked. Now that the device has been approved, it may arrive earlier than expected. No word on the pricing, though.
