This is correct its a strange decision by HP as we sold loads of 5700's and 5900's as they were both excellent specs.

At the moment the only PDA's with built in GPS that HP do are their PDA/phones like the 614 and 914.

So it is designed to run the software it comes with which can be updated with patches etc but as a user you cannot install software like tom tom or memory map which is what I wanted it for.

So you have a nice unit with 2 gig of memory & a 4.5 inch screen that is in my oppinion a total waste of time. A big step backwards for Hp & must have lost them many customers.

Anybody know of solutions or comments on this please.
