HP Gets Serious About Handheld Security

Today HP released the iPaq hx2000 line of PocketPC devices. Each model includes a biometric fingerprint reader. This is a welcome feature, despite the problems with fingerprint identification, because password entry on a keyboard-less device is a big enough pain that many users simply turn off password protection. Other welcome features include integrated Bluetooth and 802.11b with a built-in 802.1X/PEAP client. Starting at $349, they are very reasonably priced.
