Here's an announced PDA from HP that may keep people buying standalone handhelds. It's obvious from its 2.8" widescreen display that the new HP iPAQ rx4000 will be a media-centric device. The Windows Mobile PDA will also boast Bluetooth and WiFi. Hopefully users will find its scroll-wheel intuitive. The rx4000 will also apparently have an SDIO slot, so I guess future customers will be able to add to the device's admittedly small 128MB internal memory.

The rx4000 seems to signify HP's push into the mobile market.

Release Date: An Asia-Pacific regional release is set for this October. No information for other areas is available yet.
