next gen pdas + new dell pda

MotorAce · 2nd June 2004, 6:48 AM

anyone have an idea when the next pdas are out? The US dell site are selling Axim X30's with 624 MHz. I'm particulary interested in when the new asus model is out.

New HP models are on their way in the next month or two (I think).

One of them is a full VGA screen, bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and a touchpad (no buttons). It's missing one semi-major feature, can't remember what though... GSM maybe?

I believe the x30/624mhz is out here, or if it isn't, then our dell account manager is telling porkies.

Sent an email around with a deal for the x30 @ $650, seems ok to me, but I had/have no idea if the dell axims are any good

dell ones have crappy d pads so bad for gaming which is bad for me

Motorace: Do you have one?

I have an Axim X5 and play Sega Master System games on it all the time. D pad works great.

just a heads up guys, looks like the new 624mhz dell pdas are available in aus LINKO

$649.00 isnt too shabby, personally i'll be waiting for other brands to release pdas at this speed

dam it is still only QVGA

guess i will have to wait for the new hp/compaqs as there is one that is vga like the e800

KyocEr@~* · 7th June 2004, 11:16 PM

Don't start me on the E800... it is fat, it is big, it is chunky... n ugly.

The new HP designs are svelt.... tres chic!~

Azer · 8th June 2004, 2:48 AM

ditto

hence the reason i will not have a e800

but will wait for a small form factor pda that has vga

the screen looks fuckin sexy at vga res running WMSE

Is there much software that comes with the Dell PDA's? I looked at them on thier site and its rather vague just say Pocket PC 2003 2nd Edition.

Bonkers · 9th June 2004, 4:19 PM

Does Windows 2003 Mobile come with all the normal stuff such as:
Pocket Word, Pocket Excel, MSN etc, That come with the HP Pocket PC's? Or are those programs extras by Hewlett Packard?

I like the look of the PDA, and now Im in a difficult situation deciding between the Axim 30 and the HP4150 (I love wireless

).

THe software is really the main deciding point as the HP has all the software that I want and I would like to know what comes with the AXIM 30.

Azer · 9th June 2004, 6:38 PM

all those apps come with windows mobile 2003

but the axim uses Windows Mobile 2003 Special Edition

the only real differenes are landscape support (very sexy)
and better wireless and bluetooth intergration
