Providing more fuel for rumours, some information has leaked over some boards about the configuration and release dates of a new HP iPAQ with PAN (Bluetooth), LAN (wi-fi) and WAN (GSM/GPRS).
The source seems to be a draft 3 page brochure. It's thought that T-Mobile will release this device in May, with AT&T getting the device in August.

The document also says a removable keyboard is in the box.
It'll be an interesting device, but the specs sheet doesn't confirm if it's a Windows Mobile Second Edition. Moreover I'd like to see 128MB or even 192MB SDRAM, instead of only 64MB.
Australian web site MTekk has more information on this.
