Windows Phone Thoughts: Dell Working on a VGA Axim?

According to Brighthand's RumorMill, "Intel is close to releasing the Marathon graphics co-processor, a 3D multimedia accelerator for the XScale line. This will allow devices with very high-resolution screens to render just under one million polygons per second, plus play video in MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and Windows Media formats.

Intel did a demonstration of this graphics chip at the CES tradeshow, where a company spoksperson announced that Dell would be using Marathon in an Axim model to be released during the second half of this year. A video of this announcement can be found on Intel's web site.

Marathon was created for 640-by-480-pixel displays and up. If it is going to be in a future Axim model, then that model will have a VGA screen."

While existing Axim owners are still wondering if they'll be allowed to have WM2003 SE, Dell is apparently working on a device that will take advantage of a feature of the new OS - a VGA screen. The arguments that Brighthand makes are certainly compelling, and I'm inclined to believe that Dell is indeed tinkering with this.

Dell's modus operandi seems to be to jump on the bandwagon as a market reaches maturity. If that's the case, I imagine that HP is hard at work on this as well.

Personally, I think a VGA screen is just the thing to revitalize Dell's lineup. What do you think? Would a VGA screen make you consider Dell for your next PPC?
