HP recently unveiled its latest Windows Mobile Pocket PC, the HP iPAQ rx4000, realizing its vision of mobile freedom where consumers stay in touch at work and at play through seamless connectivity. At a recent event in China, HP showcased a breadth of easy-to-use mobility solutions with innovative designs, which reflect consumers’ personal design preferences, enabling consumers to be entertained and productive on the go.

Before, HP always had the business user in mind, when they released their iPAQ or Jornada Pocket PCs. Now, with the iPAQ rx4000, HP has the consumer in mind.

Breaking new ground in design for handheld devices, HP launched the HP iPAQ rx4000 Mobile Media Companion series. Its compact, palm-sized smart design will enhance consumers’ entertainment experience for fun on the go virtually anywhere and anytime they desire. More features and pricing after the jump.
