The Wellington Windows Mobile User Group met 09 September to hear HP New Zealand's Mobile Solutions Marketing Manager Paull Wilson about the new HP iPAQ line introduced this year. This time the meeting was sponsored by HP, in its Wellington offices.

The audience of users and developers heard about HP's experience with media, media distribution, and the role Pocket PCs play in this area, including how the new multimedia enabled iPAQs fit in this model.
