We have a few more details (still rumors) about the new GPS integrated mobile devices from HP. Just like we mentioned before the iPAQ 600 series will feature 3G connectivity, integrated GPS, and Windows Mobile 6 Professional operating system.

According to the unconfirmed source the first HP iPAQ 600 series devices will be a smartphone with a 12-key numeric keypad supporting Windows Mobile 6 Pro and a touch sensitive navigation wheel It will also be quadband phone supporting GSM/GPRS/EDGE networks as well as triband UMTS/HSDPA , WiFi b/g, Bluetooth and A-GPS. The new iPAQ 600 is expected to be powered by a Marvell PXA270 CPU at 520MHz with 128 MB RAM and 256 MB ROM which can be expanded by microSD cards.

The 2.8″ QVGA touch screen should support the Windows Mobile typical 65K color and on the back, the devices features 3 megapixel CMOS camera with auto focus.

Furthermore it seems that HP is working on an HP iPAQ 900-series and according to our information, the feature-set is quite identical to the iPAQ 600 features above but instead of sporting a numeric keypad, the iPAQ 900 will features a QWERTY keyboard.

Further information aren’t given yet but an announcement is planned for September with availability later this year. Anyway, the features above are not yet confirmed and can very well change. Nevertheless, if this is “the new HP”, it’s quite promising!
