Re: [iPAQ] iPAQ 4155

Tom,

congrats on your buy :)

I very much doubt that you will get the device apart without
breaking the seal and voiding your warranty.
(It's probably hidden somewhere in the battery compartment)

You may find it easier to search for press-releases.
(Tabbed browser is a must)
No point in searching for "4155 devices", try "press release HP"
etc etc etc .... might take weeks to follow all possibilities;)
Bottom line is, if manufacturer develops something HP decides to
use, they don't (normally) know which device it will be going
into.... and HP don't announce it.
However, individual manufacturers usually issue a press release
announcing their new chip and that one of their major customers
is HP.
Although it's more time consuming, it's not 'dangerous' :)
That's how I figured out half of the devices in the h2210.
Hope the suggestion helps.

Marcus.
