Making it clear that it has not shot its handheld bolt for the time being with its new HP-100LX, Hewlett-Packard Co has an even hotter property on the stocks, Reuter reports. On June 7, the company is expected to share a platform with Microsoft Corp to announce the OmniBook, a handheld weighing under 3 lbs and costing about $2,000, which will include Windows and a word processor and include advanced communications capabilities. Microsoft is hoping that the OmniBook will extend its Windows reach into the personal digital assistant market. The partner with Hewlett-Packard on the 100LX was Lotus Development Corp with its Notes.
