Update 03/31/2005 03:41 PM

The HP iPaq h6315 Windows Mobile smartphone has been troubled since it first launched on T-Mobile, with email and connectivity issues that caused the carrier to effectively pull the device off its shelves. Now they're releasing a new ROM update that purports to fix most of the issues, so if you've already plunked down the cash for a h6315 you feel like you're stuck with, you'd be well served to give it download before you go crying to T-Mobile for a replacement (and if it doesn't, you should).

There is no coffee here, so rumor will have to suffice. Someone on the iPAQabilities boards is claiming to have toyed with one of the new iPAQ H6315s, having been told by an HP employee that the PDA should be released in May as a T-Mobile exclusive, August for AT&T...

Email/GPRS Problems with the T-Mobile HP
h6315 09/14/2004 09:13 AM

So it's not all roses for T-Mobile and HP's new iPaq h6315 Pocket PC phone. According to users on various forums who purchased the recently-released device, using the built-in GPRS connection to send email over 4k in size can cause a disconnection (and subsequent failure). Others are reporting issues connecting to other internet services over GPRS connection (and even Wi-Fi, although I think that's just a random issue). T-Mobile has acknowledged the issue (not publically, but to users reporting in the forums), and word has it there is a problem in the h6315 GPRS TCP/IP stack.

That should be fixable via software patch, which hopefully will hit the web soon.

Kudos to Chauncey Thorn for this fun little hack to use Google for Geocoding that he posted on a FLOSS mailing list/ forum. Google would probably notice, mind, and shut down enterprise level use, but I imagine informal web services like this will put pricing pressure on geocoding vendors, while increasing number of apps that take advantage of geographic data. @params string full address @return assoc array $location = array('lat' => $lat, 'lng' => $lng) function map_geocoder($address) { $address = urlencode($address); $response = drupal_http_request('http://maps.google.com/maps?q='.$address); // let find the lat/lng in the $response->data preg_match("//", $response->data, $matches); // cleaning up $match = preg_split('/ /',$matches[0]); $lat = str_replace('lat=','',$match[1]); $lat = str_replace('"','',$lat); $lng = str_replace('lng=','',$match[2]); $lng = str_replace('/> $lng = str_replace('"','',$lng); // finally ... $location['lat'] = $lat; $location['lng'] = $lng; return $location; }...

HP Unveils Latest iPaqs Including h6315
Smartphone PDA Hybrid 07/26/2004 10:55 AM

HP has officially pulled the tarps from its new iPAQ line of Pocket PC PDAs; the first reviews are just starting to trickle in. Mobile dervish Om Malik has had one of the most exciting new iPAQ models, the h6315, in his hands for about a week, and while it isn't the most favorable review I've ever read, it still looks pretty exciting for anyone more technically minded in search of a hyper-connected phone/PDA (we're talking GSM/GPRS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth in a single device).

We'll have a bit more on some of the other iPAQs released today as it comes in, at least if its anything new and interesting (most of the details seem to be the same as we reported pre-release), but for now here's some of the dirty details on the h6315.

Apple 15" PowerBook G4 Battery Recall 08/19/2004 04:34 PM
Apple is voluntarily recalling certain lithium ion rechargeable batteries that were sold worldwide from January 2004 through August 2004 for use with 15-inch PowerBook G4 (Aluminum) notebook computers. These batteries were manufactured by LG Chem, Ltd. of South Korea.

The affected batteries could overheat, posing a fire hazard. Apple received four reports of these batteries overheating. No injuries have been reported. Apple urges you to stop using your battery and to order a replacement battery immediately. If you continue to use your battery, do not leave it unattended and check for signs of overheating.

HP iPaq RW6100 Photos 08/18/2004 08:38 AM

Whoa, this is a crazy one. There apparently had been rumors floating about of a new HP iPaq Smartphone, called the RW6100, and pictures have surfaced on a Korean website of what looks to be that very thing. What's interesting to me, though, is that it appears to be a slider, although with just a keypad underneath instead of a keyboard. It has a marked resemblance, in fact, to the Samsung SGH-D410 we reviewed last week, although it looks a lot bigger. Could be a very nice compromise between capability and size if it all pans out.

I've had the HP iPaq h6315 - their newest, actually-released Smartphone - in here for the last few days, and while I'll probably give it a proper review here soon, it's cemented my notion that I'm not that impressed with Windows Smartphones in the larger slate form factor anymore. If you don't mind things being way too huge for pockets, though, it's got a lot to offer.
