PCWorld.com - HP Sets Its Sights on Smart Phones:

With PDA sales slumping, company is planning new devices.

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA -- Building on the success of a PDA launched last year that offered mobile phone and Wi-Fi functions, Hewlett-Packard plans to offer a number of new devices to its business customers throughout 2005 and 2006, company executives said this week.

The Palo Alto, California, company will demonstrate a second PDA that can be used as a mobile phone--which the company bills as a smart phone--later this month at the 3GSM World Conference in Cannes, says Ted Clark, senior vice president and general manager of HP's Mobile Computing Business Unit. He spoke during a press conference at the Fairmont Hotel here."
