History and development of iPAQ models
The iPaq was developed by Digital Equipment Corporation Western Research Laboratory (WRL), the internal code name for it was Itsy. The name was used by Compaq to continue their Compaq Aero handheld line. With the acquisition of Compaq by Hewlett-Packard, HP stopped producing their Jornada line of Microsoft Windows powered Pocket PCs and continued developing and marketing Pocket PCs in the iPAQ line.
In June 2003, HP retired the h3xxx line of iPAQs and introduced the h1xxx line of iPAQs targeted at price conscious buyers, the h2xxx consumer line, and the h5xxx line, targeted at business customers. They were sold pre-installed with the Windows Mobile for Pocket PC 2003 Operating System. The h63xx series of iPAQs running the Phone Edition of Windows Mobile 2003, the hx47xx series and the rz17xx series, both running the Second Edition of Windows Mobile 2003 were introduced in August 2004. In February 2005 the iPAQ Mobile Messenger hw6500 series was introduced to selected media at the 3GSM conference in Cannes, France.
In 2007 the iPAQ rx4000 Mobile Media Companion PDA/media devices and rx5000 Travel Companion PDA/GPS devices were released. Both series of iPAQs work on the Windows Mobile 5 Operating System (WM5), as do the hx2000 and hw6900 series. The first HP Windows Mobile 6 device, the iPAQ 500 Series Voice Messenger, with the Windows Mobile 6 Standard Operating System WM6) , and numeric pad, was released in the same year.
The entire iPAQ line was completely revamped by the introduction of five new iPAQ series to complement the introduction of the iPAQ 500 Series Voice Messenger earlier in the year. The models announced were the 100 Series Classic Handheld, the 200 Series Enterprise Handheld, the 300 Series Travel Companion, the 600 Series Business Navigator and the 900 Series Business Messenger. The 100 and 200 Series are regular touchscreen PDAs without phone functionality running WM6. The 300 Series Travel Companion is not a PDA; marketed as a Personal Navigation Device, it is a handheld GPS unit operating on the Windows CE 5.0 core Operating System with a custom user interface. The 600 and 900 series are phones with integrated GPS and 3G capabilities, running the WM6 Professional. The 600 series featuring a numeric pad and the 900 series features a full QWERTY keyboard.

Alternative operating systems for the iPAQ
NetBSD
NetBSD will install and run on iPAQ.
Familiar Linux
An alternative Linux-based OS is available for the iPAQ, called Familiar. It is available with the Opie or GPE GUI environment, or as a base Linux system with no GUI if preferred.
Both Opie and GPE provide the usual PIM suite (calendar, contacts, todo list, and notes) as well as a long list of other applications. Support for handwriting recognition, on-screen keyboard, bluetooth, IrDA and add-on hardware such as keyboards are standard in both environments.
The v0.8.4 (2006-08-20) version supports HP iPAQ H3xxx and H5xxx series of handhelds, and introduces initial support for the HP iPAQ H2200, Hx4700, and H6300 series.

Plan 9 from Bell Labs
Plan 9 from Bell Labs runs on the iPAQ. The nickname of the architecture is "bitsy," after the name of the ARM-based chipsets used in many of the machines.

Upgrades
The hx2000 series and some later models are upgradeable to newer versions of Windows Mobile. Upgrades could be purchased from HP. Windows Mobile 2003 could be installed on the H3970 and possibly other models of the H3xxx series with sufficient ROM capacity.
Internal Li-ion battery
iPAQ model 3100 - 3700 are fitted with internal Li-ion battery PN 167648 3.7v 1500mAh which can be replaced with a 2200mAh upgrade. The same battery is used in the iPAQ jacket PN 173396-001 PCMCIA (PC port), which can also be upgraded to 2200mAh.
RAM Upgrade
It is possible to have the internal RAM of an iPAQ H3970 upgraded to 128Mb by using a specialist service which replaces the surface-mount BGA RAM chips.
