HP unveils smart phone at 3GSMHewlett-Packard will be offering its own smart phone with 3G Internet access, and voice command and remote-access capability this spring, the company announced Monday.
The iPaq 500 connects to the Internet via GSM/GPRS/EDGE networks, as well as via Wi-Fi that can be protected with Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 security. Designed for business users, the phone can be accessed remotely, so that companies' IT managers can delete or erase data from stolen or lost phones and also provide updates and fixes. The phone features Bluetooth, 64MB of memory and 128MB of storage with a microSD card slot to expand memory. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery offers about six hours of talk time and over seven days of standby, according to HP. The iPaq 500 also allows users to play music and videos, store photos and play games on the device. The HP iPaq will be available this spring in the U.S. directly from HP and authorized dealers. The company has not yet released the phone's price or disclosed which carriers will offer it.
