As much as I love dissing on smartphones, I have to say that the iPaq hw6500 is looking like solid gold with a simcard. Take something not much larger than a Treo 650, jam in a GPS module, run it on a real operating system, and you’ve got me salivating.

Full specs include GSM/GPRS with EDGE support, Windows Mobile SE, an Intel 520MHz CPU, 1.3 MP camera, SDIO and Mini SD slots.

If they manage to stuff WiFi into that package somehow, then I’d seriously have to consider getting over my aversion to holding a giant slab of grey plastic to my ear when talking.
