Unless mentioned otherwise, all the device run Windows Mobile 6 Professional. Specifications at time of writing is unconfirmed. The release is certainly welcomed, a lot was being worried that HTC was becoming the one and only provider of Windows Mobile devices. The concern was of course, monopoly. HTC has the ability to churn out many devices but they are starting to get ridiculously expensive. A line up from one of the other big boys should keep prices reasonable

Ramblings
I’m really looking forward to ditching my Treo 680 and getting an IPAQ 600* unit. Sweet specs, wonderful phone-like form factor, doesn’t skimp of connectivity features (unlike the ‘no-wifi’ for Treo bullshit), packed to the brim with tech, and has a large screen and battery capacity too.. Hurray for competition..
Me too actually, but I’m replacing the 6965 with a 900 series (of course, just don’t let my other half know :)). Sorry Palm but I guess when you come up with something to beat these babies, then I’ll go back the Palm camp lol. I’m hoping Windows Mobile 6 will be better than 5 in the speed department.
