HP's booths were active at the CES this year. Not just active with tons of products, but with buzz about their iPAQ line that has been disappointing as of late. Some of the more loose lipped reps talked about a redesign coming for the h6300 Windows Mobile phone and the entry level rz1715.

Regarding the h6300 they have serious concerns over the keyboard implementation. I'm not sure why they thought a slide on echanism would be popular, but they've found that it's not. HP is working on both an integrated design and a more short term solution for current owners. The redone keypad promises to be less bulky and offer better input. On the rz1715 front, HP totally missed the mark. Within a few months we should see an update for their entry-level PDA. Details on both models are thin at best, but HP is definitely responding to what should have been a pretty obvious market reaction to these products.
