HP (NYSE:HPQ)(Nasdaq:HPQ) and Cingular Wireless today announced the
HP iPAQ hw6500 series Mobile Messenger, the first Pocket PCs in the
United States to use Cingular's high-speed EDGE network. Beginning
on Oct. 31, Cingular will be the sole U.S. carrier for this sleek
smart device, which delivers wireless email(1) and an array of
applications that offer users access to the digital content and
services they need for truly effective global communication and
mobile productivity. The HP iPAQ hw6500 series is the first
generally available Cingular-enabled device to have an integrated
global positioning satellite (GPS) receiver.(2) Cingular will sell
two versions of the Mobile Messenger, the hw6515 featuring a
1.3-megapixel camera and the hw6510, which will come without a
camera. The HP iPAQ hw6500 series also boasts a unique combination
of digital wireless voice and data capabilities, including access
to Cingular's nationwide EDGE network,(1,3,4) built-in keyboard,
and Bluetooth(TM) wireless technology. Cingular's EDGE network is
the largest and fastest national wireless data network in the
United States, with availability in 13,000 cities and towns and
along more than 40,000 miles of interstate highways. To help
simplify the implementation of wireless solutions, HP and Cingular
have collaborated with 14 application providers to create the HP
Mobility Solutions Evaluation Center
(www.hp.com/go/mobile-evaluation), a one-stop shop for diverse
mobility solutions and know-how for notebooks, tablet PC and
handheld devices. Customers can visit this online resource to learn
about and download trial versions of mobile applications such as
mail and messaging, security, navigation and business solutions.
The website also includes HP-branded solutions such as Hosted
Microsoft(R) Exchange, Open Roaming and HP Navigation System.(5)
Together, the HP iPAQ hw6500 series and HP Mobility Solutions
Evaluation Center offer customers an easy way to evaluate and
implement powerful mobile solutions with less risk by leveraging
the experience and market leadership of both HP and Cingular. "HP
is simplifying the path for customers who are eager to add mobility
to their lives but wary of the complexity and technical
challenges," said Ted Clark, senior vice president and general
manager, Mobile Computing Global Business Unit, HP. "Together with
Cingular, we are empowering customers to take full advantage of
mobility in ways they've never experienced before and to change the
way they do business and how they connect to information,
communication and even entertainment." At the Microsoft CIO Summit
earlier this year, HP and Cingular previewed the HP iPAQ hw6500 and
several applications featured in the HP Mobility Solutions
Evaluation Center. The response to alternative mail and messaging
solutions and the HP iPAQ hw6500 was overwhelming, with more than
60 corporate customers signing up for an early evaluation pilot
program. "The introduction of the HP iPAQ hw6510/hw6515 provides
business customers with more than just a powerful new device but
rather a complete wireless voice and data solution right out of the
gate," said Jeff Bradley, vice president, business data services,
Cingular Wireless. "Cingular and HP have developed specifically for
the iPAQ 6510/hw6515 an ecosystem of application providers whose
services extend from broad-based email to those for specific
industries. This, combined with the popular Pocket PC technology
platform and the largest and fastest national wireless data network
in the country, presents to a broad range of companies a one-stop
approach through which they can give their mobile workforces
wireless access to critical information and processes." Treasure
chest of mobile solutions Developed with wireless expertise from
Cingular, the HP Mobility Solutions Evaluation Center provides
customers with access to a premier portfolio of business

application providers was incorporated into the Mobility Solutions
Center for iPAQ 6500 series solutions. Expertise areas include: --
