Are there any Pocket PC's with a camera?

It's the time of year I start looking for another organiser. The NZ90 was nice, but the limitation of the Palm OS and the battery life is a pain. I'm looking to go Pocket PC this time around, but there seems to be no camera equipped iPaqs. Any with a 1MP+ camera, Bluetooth, keyboard and a decent battery life?

Most of the cameras that I've seen for iPaqs and other PocketPC organizers are either CF- or SD-slot add-ons such as these.

Add-on modules allow you to pick-and-choose which features you want in an organizer. I prefer that approach compared to the all-in-one solutions.

I've got a Samsung i700. It's a Pocket PC with a camera . . . and it's a cell phone.

Thanks for the link to the HP camera. That definitely makes the iPaq an option. I suppose my only objection is to have to carry bits & bobs about. External keyboard, camera, etc.


Phone organisers don't attract me for the reason that I'm far more likely to lose / get stolen a phone than an organiser. It's just historically been that way. I also don't lock my phones (far too inconvenient) so if I store my calendar, contacts, etc sensitive data can be accessed if it is stolen or lost.

I had the same thought when I was looking at cell phones. A salesman suggested a cell phone organizer, but I declined because I had just had a phone stolen. It was bad enough having the phone stolen, but if it had sensitive info in it, then I would have torn my hair out.

Then again, Tyll's i700 looks pretty neat. It doesn't look too much wider than some phone-only phones and it would be handy to have full-fledged e-mail access (and a nice, big screen to type and read them on), rather than just short text messages.

Hey, I didn't know about this, and I did want to know about it -- thanks for the great pointer!
