OK, I was close to writing off HP, and they go and do something cool.

"Quanta Computer is expected to begin volume shipments of PDA phones to Hewlett-Packard (HP) in the first half of this year, according to a January 16 report of the Chinese-language Commercial Times. Quanta will ship to HP a revised version of the Xda Atom PDA phone, which it currently manufactures for UK-based O2, the paper said, quoting market sources. The revised Xda Atom PDA phone will still come with the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system, but will support the quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE standard, instead of the original tri-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE standard, it added. HP and Quanta are also in negotiations to expand the product lineups to include 3G-enabled PDA phones, the paper noted."

According to PocketPC Thoughts, a reworked version of XDA Atom will be shipped to HP. The original Atom has an Intel PXA272 416MHz processor, 64MB RAM, 128MB flash ROM, a 2.7" 262K-colour QVGA (240 x 320) TFT-LCD, Bluetooth 1.2, 802.11b Wi-Fi, IrDA, tri-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support, a 2.0-megapixel camera, a miniSD slot, and Windows Mobile 5.0.
