Sharp Zaurus SL-C3000
Ok, so it runs linux instead of windows software but it is VGA and sorobangeeks got some photos of the new Sharp Zaurus SL-C3000.
The Sharp Zaurus SL-C3000 is a nice looking PDA that could only be improved if it had WiFi and was available here in the US.
The SL-C3000 has a great flip-top design with a QWERTY keyboard, runs linux, has a 416mhz xscale processor, 3.7" VGA screen, SD/MMC card slot, USB connectivity and a 4GB hard drive.
Battery life of the Sharp Zaurus SL-C3000 is said to be 7 hrs, it is 4.9" by 3.5" by 1" and it weighs 10.5oz.
No VGA for iPAQ hx2000 Series
PDAgold found more info on the exact specifications of the hx2000 series of Pocket PCs from HP: no VGA resolution on any of them.
HP is copying Dell by offering 3 different versions of the hx2000: the low-end hx2110, the mid-range hx2410 and the high end hx2750.
The basic hx2110 features a 312MHz XScale processor, 64MB RAM and 64MB ROM (total 88MB user accessible), Bluetooth 1.1, SDIO and CompactFlash card slots and a 920mAh removable battery.
The hx2410 is the same as the hx2110 except for a faster 520MHz processor, Wi-Fi 802.11b, and larger 1440mAh battery.
The hx2750 adds a 620MHz processor, 128MB RAM and 128MB ROM (total 214MB user accessible), and a biometric fingerprint reader.
All 3 are 4.7" x 3.0" x 0.6" and weigh 5.8oz. All 3 are missing VGA resolution screens and consumer speed/range infrared, making these much more suited for the business user than the home user.
No word yet on pricing, and at TechXNY yesterday the HP staff wouldn't give any information out on the hx2000 series.
HP iPAQ hx2000 Pictures
Engadget got sent some pictures of the rumored HP iPAQ hx2000 series of Pocket PCs. These aren't VGA pocket PCs although there is a slight change HP may do a Dell and make the high end hx2700 VGA.
Word is there will be 3 models: the hx2100, the hx2400, and the hx2700.
The HP iPAQ hx2100 will have a 316MHz XScale processor, 2.5" display, 64MB RAM, 64MB ROM, CompactFlash, Secure Digital, and Bluetooth.
The HP iPAQ hx2100 will have a 624MHz XScale processor, 2.5" display, 128MB RAM, 64MB ROM, CompactFlash, Secure Digital, 802.11b, and Bluetooth.
There are no specs on the hx2400 but we expect it to have a 520MHz processor, 128MB RAM, and no Wi-Fi.
No info on release date or price: our guess on prices would be $300, $400, and $500 for the 3 models.
Engadget has some more pics including a clip-on keyboard.

Dallab DP900 PocketPC Phone (non-VGA)
msmobiles discovered a new Pocket PC Phone: The Dallab DP900.
If you haven't heard of Dallab before they are a Malaysian company that until now has produced only bluetooth equipped accessories.
The Dappab DP900 isn't VGA (VGA isn't supported by the Microsoft Pocket PC 2003 Phone Edition on all Pocket PC Phones) but I am posting info here on non VGA Pocket PCs to help in comparison shopping.
The Dallab DP900 is a tri-band (GSM 900/1800/1900MHz) 300MHz intel xscale, Pocket PC running Microsoft Pocket PC 2003 Phone Edition.
Other features of the Dallab DP900 are 64MB RAM, 64MB ROM, 1100mAh removable battery (that can be switched without the phone losing its connection or power), 240x320 pixel 3" screen, SDIO/SD/MMC card slot, and a VGA digital camera that rotates up to 180 degrees.
The Dallab DP900 weighs 5oz, its dimensions aren't known but it look pretty compact considering its small 3" screen size.
No info yet on whether the Dallab DP900 will be offered by any US phone companies.
