The Gadgeteer Reviews the Dell X50v
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "HARDWARE" @ 02:00 AM
". . .So, what do you think about the differences between the Dell Axim X50v Pocket PC and the HP hx4700 iPAQ Pocket PC? Both employ the same fast processor, both run Windows Mobile 2003 SE, and both have dual card slots, both have WiFi and Bluetooth. But for all these similarities, the iPAQ costs $150 more than the Dell. Is the iPAQ truly that much better? Hopefully this review will answer that question as I will be taking a close look at the Axim X50v Pocket PC."
This review of the Dell X50v starts from a slightly unusual perspective, namely that Julie from the Gadgeteer is an avid 4700 iPAQ user (even though she loathes the touchpad) and she end up extensively comparing and contrasting the two devices. This is no bad thing, especially if these two devices are on your shortlist for new Pocket PC devices. In typical Gadgeteer fashion it's a decent length review with plenty of photos and screenshots. So does Julie decide to ditch the dastardly 4700 for the dashing X50v? You'll just have to go and have a gander at the Gadgeteer to find out. ;-)
