This is the news I’ve been waiting for.

HP iPAQ 610 ships this month or next. Hopefully it should be in India by the last quarter. It is one super gizmo which is a mini-computer with windows mobile 6, can run office, push email, a mobile phone, a camera, a PDA with a touch screen and – hold your breath -  a GPS all in one tiny bundle less than 150 grams.

No wonder Apple dropped the i-Phone prices.

The specs are here and the phone retails at US$600

Now the question is, if I get to lay my hands on it. Buying this makes even more sense to me – because this can tether with my laptop, which is also HP, to give wireless internet access at every location where there is phone coverage.
