Hewlett-Packard recently announced the HP 1000CX Palmtop PC, a DOS- only 1MB version of the HP 200LX for third-party developers who want a platform for DOS applications and do not need the built-in software.
The hardware of the DOS-only version is virtually the same as the regular 200LX, except that the key tops and keyboard overlay have been modified to exclude any reference to the System Manager compliant functions and it is the color of the 100LX. The 1000CX comes without any built-in PIMs or other applications. It does include DOS 5.0, a setup utility, and LapLink Remote. The 1000CX comes with a multilingual User's Guide.
English, French, German, and Spanish versions of the 1000CX are available in minimum orders of 50 units built to order with 4 weeks lead time). The price per unit is approximately $449 U.S., but may vary depending on the size of the order. Memory cards, AC adapters, Connectivity Packs, and other Palmtop-related hardware should work fine on the 1000CX. For more information, contact your HP Palmtop distributor or HP sales office.
