News about the latest HP’s iPAQ line was officially launched in an formal announcement of the rx5915 Travel Companion. As anticipated, the new HP handheld is a hybrid GPS navigator and media player.

it comes with TomTom’s NAVIGATOR 6 software and a software that monitors traffic and weather. In its most common form, the rx5915 will come with 2GB of built-in flash plus an SD card slot to store maps, music, and videos.

HP has also made Internet access a priority.

The rx5915 is available for $600 but hasn’t been given an official release date.
