Thread & Paul. You can see and order the new Ipaq at Compaq's site.

Compaq iPaq will be available for shipping in January, 2000. Units configured with Microsoft© Windows© 2000 will ship when the operating system becomes available
$849

With four models: 2 Celeron ($499-$549) and 2 Pentium III ($799-$849) I don't know where the "increased competition from AMD" that Osha predicts will come from.

Note that the 500mhz Celeron iPaq that sells for $549 is much cheaper than the comparable Dell model which sells for $1077.

While CPQ predicts that these will represent 10%-15% of sales, it is possible that they are being conservative. Next year could be interesting.
