Office
System 2003 Leaks To Web
Thanks Betaz. More
than a month before retail availability, the final
version of Office System 2003 (sporting build #5606) has
already been leaked to the net. The leak comes in on 5
CDs and includes all the well-known members of the
Office System family as well as the two latest
additions, OneNote and InfoPath.
Naturally, there isn't that much of a difference
compared to the Beta 2 Technical Refresh, but still you
might want to check out some screenshots of this puppy

>>Lower-priced
iPaq makes debut
The slim h1935 is similar
to the $299 h1945 model
introduced in June, although without that device's
built-in Bluetooth wireless capability. The new model,
which will sell for $199 after a $50 rebate, has only
half as much read-only memory (ROM) and comes with just
a 90-day warranty, compared with the one-year warranty
that comes with other iPaq models.
HP's introduction of the
new model, which is similar to one already selling in
Europe and Asia, comes after the company
reported disappointing earnings, including a return
to red ink for the business unit that encompasses PCs
and handheld computers. Handhelds have been one of the
company's strong suits, thanks to the iPaq brand Compaq
Computer established. However, rivals such as Dell have
been making inroads due in part to lower prices

>>Microsoft
wins OK for Xbox wireless adapter
Microsoft has won federal approval for a wireless
adapter for its Xbox video game console that allows
players to connect to the Internet without cabling,
according to a posting on a regulatory Web site.
The site for the
Office of Engineering
and Technology of the U.S. Federal Communications
Commission shows that approval for the unit was granted
late Thursday.
A Microsoft spokeswoman
said the FCC posted the information about the device in
error, but she confirmed the adapter had been approved.
She said the government office agreed to a request to
keep product details confidential ahead of a planned
product launch.
