The upcoming HP iPAQ rx4000 is a multimedia-centric device that does not come with any phone capabilities, although you can still download VoIP software like Skype to make PC-to-PC and fee-based calls. The rx4000 comes with a large 2.8" anti-glare touch screen that makes navigation a cinch. You can hook on the Internet via its built-in WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. Powered by the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system, the rx4000 makes a perfect portable productivity device as you can work on-the-go with Microsoft software such as Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. The rx4000 is expected to debut in the Asia Pacific region at the recommended retail price of $299 in October.
