Compaq unveils new palm-size Aeros

Compaq's new Aero 1530 weighs less than five ounces and measures just ½" thick - the thinnest palm-size PC available running Windows CE. The device, which offers a 16-color grayscale non-glare display, is priced at $299. The Aero 2180 features added color depth (65,536 colors) and 24MB of memory, and sells for $449.

While Compaq is forging ahead with its Windows CE offerings, the platform is losing momentum in the retail market. Analysts say Palm OS-based handhelds are outselling Windows CE devices by almost a two-to-one ratio.
