Some new information on the HTC Himalaya Pocket PC Phone Edition has begun to surface. PPCW.NET has some new pictures that show the cradle has a build in hands free speakerphone capability as well as a jack for a hands free headset! That means you can answer calls while the PDA is docked in the cradle. Very Cool! The cradle also has a separate slot for charging an extra battery.
And if you take a look at MSMobiles.com, there’s news that the HTC Himalaya (O2 XDA II, T-Mobile MDA II) will have support for “backpack” expansion packs which will allow the use of Compact Flash cards as well, I’m sure, the interface is open to other expansion options.
