From :<br><br>Compaq's new iPaq handhelds will use Microsoft's Pocket PC 2002 and will have the same amount of memory, 32MB of ROM and 64MB of RAM, as well as the same processor, Intel's 206MHz StrongARM SA-110. The higher-end device, which will be part of the iPaq H3800 series, will come with a Secure Digital card slot, voice-command and voice-control software, and will support 65,536 colors on its active-matrix screen. <br><br>The active-matrix display on the lower-end device, which will be part of the H3700 series, will support 4,096 colors. Both devices will also come with rechargeable lithium polymer batteries; the capacity of the battery in the H3800 series handheld will be larger than the H3700's battery. <br><br>Compaq has not announced prices for the new models, but a Microsoft representative said recently that the company expects Pocket PC 2002 devices to sell in the $400-$600 range. <br><br>
