Dell Axim X30 Reviewed by PCWorld
Posted by Pat Logsdon in "ARTICLE" @ 03:00 AM
"By now it's no secret that Dell has built an empire by selling high-quality equipment at terrific prices (achieved by eliminating intermediaries and--I suspect--squeezing suppliers mercilessly). That strategy has turned the company into a PDA powerhouse in less than two years.
For Pocket PC fans, Dell's entrance into the market has meant tough competition for the likes of Hewlett-Packard's and Toshiba's handhelds. But I can't deny that Dell's Axim X30 is one of the best PDA values out there. (We received it too late to include in the current Top 10 chart, however.) Prices start at $199, and $349 gets you a slim, lightweight device with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the latest version of the Windows Mobile OS, a 624-MHz Bulverde processor (the successor to Intel's XScale), plus 64MB each of ROM and RAM."
PCWorld has a fairly high-level review of the Dell Axim X30. Oh, and they talk a bit about something called a Zire. There's also some stuff about a company called Sony that left the PDA market. For those of you that actually have the 624-MHz X30, what do you think? Was it worth it, or do you wish you'd waited for a VGA model?
