Hewlett-Packard has given its iPaq handhelds their own business unit, announcing plans to separate the product teams for its notebooks and handhelds, including the new iPaq hw6900 series. Dave Rothschild, formerly of Sun Microsystems, Pixo, and Netscape, will lead the new business unit reporting to Todd Bradley, executive vice president of HP’s Personal Systems Group. Before Sunday, Ted Clark had presided over the development of both notebooks and iPaqs in the Mobility Business Unit, and he will keep control of notebook development in the new organization.
