On top of two new notebooks, Hewlett-Packard took the time Wednesday to announce a new line of Pavilion desktop PCs and Media Center PCs to attendees at CeBIT America in New York.
The new line of Pavilions are designed for entry-level media enthusiasts, while customers looking for more power will be steered toward the new HP Media Center PC m200 series, the Palo Alto, Calif., company said in a release.
The new m200 Media Center PC runs Microsoft's Windows XP Media Center Edition, and comes with a television tuner card and several different ports for audio and video output and input. A configurable model will be available on July 9 for a base price of $999 with a 2.4GHz Pentium 4 processor from Intel, 512M bytes of DDR (double data rate) SDRAM (synchronous dynamic RAM), a 80G-byte hard drive, and a GeForce4 MX440 graphics card from Nvidia.
Three fixed-configuration Media Center PCs will be released in July, HP said. The m260n will come with a 2.6GHz Pentium 4 processor with hyperthreading, 512M bytes of DDR SDRAM, a 120G-byte hard drive, a DVD+RW/CD-RW drive, and the GeForce4 MX440 card for an estimated $1,299 in the U.S on July 13. The m270n comes with a 2.8GHz Pentium 4 processor with hyperthreading, 512M bytes of DDR SDRAM, a 160G-byte hard drive, a DVD+RW/CD-RW drive with a separate DVD-ROM drive, and a GeForceFX 5200 graphics card for an estimated $1,599 in the U.S. on July 20.

The keyboard is significantly smaller than that of the original Treo. The keys have a dome shape to them intended to make typing with thumbs easier. It has an integrated digital camera and will be able to send pictures via wireless e-mail. It will also play MP3 music files. The only thing we see missing is Bluetooth, and that can easily be added in a later model if the market demands it.
It will run Palm OS 5.2 and will come in versions for both GSM and CDMA wireless phone networks. On the CDMA side, you can expect Sprint PCS to be a major carrier--as it has carried the Treo 300 for some time and has a history with Handspring.
