So, whatever happened to the $500 GPS-enabled UMPC anyway? In any case, CNET has a video review of this new GPS-enabled iPAQ available at the link below.

Too bad it doesn’t have a QWERTY keyboard of some kind…
Mike: I had the same question and found the answer on another site. Check out the very last comment on:

It says that the bluetooth only works to connect the device via a mobile phone, not as a hands free. 🙁 Given that the 310 etc isn’t a PDA it’s Back to the drawing board! 🙁
Can anyone tell me if you can answer a Bluetooth Cell phone through this like you can with the Hp ipaq 310?
The description does not say it will. All it says is (
Bluetooth wireless 2.0 EDR, integrated wireless LAN 802.11b/g )
On the 310 it says:(Bluetooth connectivity lets you use it as a hands-free phone answering system )
