HP's offering on the
PDA market.
The New HP (HP and
Compaq) recently announced that they were discontinuing the Jornada line in favor of the
iPAQ name, and assumedly the form factor as well.
The Jornada is a
Windows CE PDA, like the
iPAQ or the
Cassiopia (although the new name is
PocketPC).
There are several offerings on the Jornada line.
The 400, and 500 series are handhelds, not unlike the
Palm devices.
