HP iPaq Pocket PC - Should It have been called iPhone instead?

About the year 2000, Hewlett Packard has a product called the iPaq Pocket PC. It operates on Windows Mobile. Among the features, voice recording, wifi, maybe bluetooth, sim card ( for voice ? or 2G access? ). Color LCD touch screen.

If looks more like a early smartphone than anything else, too bad HP did not called it the iPhone but called it the iPaq. Why HP chose the name iPaq rather iPad is a big mistake as we now know that Apple blockbuster tablet PC is called the iPad.

Here is some pictures of what could have be the percursor to today tablet PCs.
















This probably the wireless or 2G phone module
