Oh boy. HP made a PMP. The iPaq rx4000 has a 2.8-inch screen and uses Windows Mobile 5.0 to play back MP3s and video. It’s also compatible with many VOIP apps so you can use it as a wee phone around the house over WiFi. Finally, you can hook up your phone with Bluetooth.

Best of all? There’s a scroll wheel. Yeah. I know. Another mylo/Nokia 770-alike. Sorry.
