HP makes nowadays some very good notebooks with built-in HSDPA (3G technology for fast data transfers, based on UMTS) - for example HP Compaq nc6400 - so it is no wonder that now we will see 3G also in mobile phones from HP...
2 new phones with touch-screen are coming from HP at last! Both with built-in GPS! While it is not clear which HSDPA they will be supported already first specifications are known:

HP iPAQ 614c :

• Windows Mobile 6 Professional (i.e. with touch-screen)
• 12 keys + Navigation circle like in iPod
• display 2.8 inch of resolution 240x320 (touch-screen)
• connectivity: 3G and WiFi
• built-in GPS
• camera: 3 Mega-pixels

HP iPAQ 914c :

• Windows Mobile 6 Professional (i.e. with touch-screen)
• QWERTY keyboard
• display 2.46 inch of resolution 240x320 (touch-screen)
• connectivity: 3G and WiFi
• built-in GPS
• camera: 3 Mega-pixels

Since HP is using strongly synergy effects and is advertising their Windows Mobile phones in big advertisements of their PC computers, notebooks and servers, clearly the fact that HP is releasing some contemporary phones means big boost for Windows Mobile platform!

It was iPAQ from Compaq that spawned in past fast development of Windows Mobile platform and now descendants of that old iPAQ (in meantime HP took over Compaq company) can help Windows Mobile to gain market share again! This time not in PDA market though, but in smartphone market...
