Summary: While I was at CTIA (see our CTIA coverage) I kept an eye out for cool new handheld computers. Here are 3 very connected PDAs that I hadn't seen before.
- Hitachi's Pocket PC (CDMA) (press release) - Built for Sprint, which doesn't have a keyboard email device yet, it's a full fledged "Multimedia Communicator" with Xscale 400MHz processor, full-color TFT screen, integrated camera, QWERTY keyboard and a replaceable battery. Availability: Q2 2003
- Blackberry 6210 (GSM/GPRS) (press release) - Slimmer, sleeker, and bluer than the current crop of blackberries, the Java based 6210 supports international roaming, integrated cell phone, and the ability to read a number of file attachments. Screen and keyboard are backlit and a headphone jack is included. See carriers for availability.
- Texas Instruments: WANDA (press release) - TI's WANDA is a Pocket PC reference design using TI's new OMAP1510 processor and it has more ways to connect wirelessly than you can shake a stick at, including the industry's first 0.13u Bluetooth single chip solution to integrate digital RF processing (DRP), TI´s TNETW1100B, an 802.11b MAC/Baseband processor and TI´s TCS2100 GSM/GPRS chipset. Availability: never. It's just a reference design.
