The HP iPAQ hw6500 received approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) months ago but because of a request for confidentiality, little information was released. Someone at the FCC has apparently posted the information anyway as you can see on the agency's web site.
The iPAQ hw6500 will run the Phone Edition of Windows Mobile 2003 SE on a 312 MHz Intel XScale processor with 64 MB of RAM. It will have a memory card slots for SD/SDIO cards and miniSD cards. It will have a built-in GPS receiver with TomTom Navigator software enabling users to download city maps to their phone. It will have Bluetooth short-range wireless networking, but not Wi-Fi.
Some versions of the hw6500 will have a 1.3 megapixel camera capable of taking 640 x 480-pixel still pictures or MPEG4 video.
This will be the first Pocket PC from any company with a square screen and a QWERTY keyboard (strongly resembling the Treo 650).
No release date or pricing information has been given.
