We just received this from an anonymous person who apparently had some time with the rumored HP Atom aka possible hw6800..

I happened to be at HP today and got a chance to see, hold and play with the upcoming iPAQ 6800 (name to be finalised). I hadn't read anything about it so thought I would send you a note.
It is in essence an O2 Atom but with HP firmware and in a silver case with a 6500 style plastic fold back screen guard.
It has:
Windows Mobile 5, tri-band GSM with EDGE, FM radio, 2.0MP camera, Bluetooth (with A2DP & AVRCP support), iRDA, 802.11b & Mini-USB 1.1 port. Memory: FlashROM 128MB, RAM 64MB

This is a real product and from what I hear is due for release in April '06.

I got the hw6515 on july 15th 2005 and i love it but if they want me to upgraded my device they are going to have to offer more. and keep what they already have. does the hw6800 have gps, umts,sd and mini sd, wifi, keyboard. and what about the hw6715 thats not even out yet. which I wont get because there is no sd. and the mini sd can only go upto 1gb at this point.

Just noticed....."Tri-band"? Not good.

If it has no keyboard....forget it. After having one I would never be able to handle a screen tapping device with a stylus...tooooooo slow.

No Slide out keyboard. That's the Wizard devices.

MiniSD slot.

Does it have a slide out keyboard?And when will we see a quantum leap from 128MB of memory to 256MB.

Cool looking device with some great specs. Anyone notice the absence of processor type/speed in the above quote?
