Reinvented enterprise iPaq

The iPaq name has long meant full-featured wireless device for mobile data management and access. It's also meant a device with the large-form size common to palm-top computers. Now, HP hopes it will also mean a feature-packed cellphone in a sleek (well, sleeker) package. The iPaq 500 series, introduced in Barcelona, gives up the bulky form-factor while hanging on to most of the features that make an iPaq an iPaq. This multi-network phone (which will use 3G networks, WiFi hotspots, or office wireless networks), will ship with VoIP software and management tools that will allow it to seamlessly hand-off calls between networks. The Windows Mobile phone is designed to appeal to enterprise customers that have made significant investments in wireless applications, but are still open to a new platform.
