PC Magazine Reviews the Dell Axim X50v
Posted by Jason Dunn in "ARTICLE" @ 02:00 PM
"The "v" in Axim X50v stands for VGA, but it could also stand for value. This high-end PDA packs in great power per dollar, focusing on features for multimedia enthusiasts and gaming addicts. The X50v looks and feels just like its midrange version the X50. But turn it on and you see a bright (though not very saturated), sharp 3.7-inch 640 x 480 VGA screen. Backing up the screen is an entirely new video architecture based on the first PDA graphics chip with dedicated memory, the Intel 2700G. The 2700G, with its 16MB of dedicated VRAM, delivers full-screen, high-quality video and impressive 3D-gaming performance. It's like changing from PCI to AGP graphics on a PC. But right now, only two games (Enigmo and StuntCar Extreme) and Windows Media Player 10 use the new chip. With all other software, you won't notice the difference."
