HP has introduced the latest HP iPAQ device, the HP iPAQ 500 series Voice Messenger that features voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) capabilities, push email and the latest Windows Mobile 6 operating system.
More than 20 voice commands available on the iPAQ offer customers hands-free operation. Using a ‘voice reply’ feature, people can reply to email by dictating and sending a voice response. Users also can listen to email and text messages, navigate through phone and calendar tasks and speak to start applications.
Additionally, the HP iPAQ Voice Messenger has built-in Wi-Fi to provide a VoIP alternative to traditional office phone setups. The smartphone also includes GSM/EDGE and Bluetooth wireless technology connectivity options.
“Busy professionals are constantly flooded with email and looking for ways to quickly and easily manage it and move on with their day,” said Dave Rothschild, vice president, Handheld Business Unit, Personal Systems Group, HP. “Our HP iPAQ Voice Messenger smartphone gives mobile users an easy way to manage all types of communications and stay focused on their business.”
Based on the new Windows Mobile 6 platform, the HP iPAQ 500 series provides business professionals with Outlook Mobile, allowing customers to view emails in their original HTML format.
The HP iPAQ Voice Messenger is the first iPAQ device to offer the over-the-air device management capabilities. With these capabilities, businesses can remotely manage and support the HP iPAQ devices’ performance, security and access to applications, data and networks.
Additionally, on-the-go professionals can enjoy digital entertainment features such as listening to music, watching videos, playing games, and capturing and sharing photos wirelessly.
The HP iPAQ 500 series Voice Messenger is expected to be available this spring in the United States direct from HP and select authorized dealers. International pricing and availability for the HP iPAQ 500 series will vary.
