Dell Axim Family

It is official now that Dell is ending their production for Dell Axim PDA’s, leaving only Palm, HP and other smaller Taiwan companies producing PDAs for the world, even Sony back out from the PDA market with their high end Clie model few years ago citing lack of interest in consumer and the rise of PDA phones. I have a Dell Axim X51v and I believe it is one of the best PDA in the market in term of price over performance, they did a great job by offering great performance with graphic acceleration processor and a QVGA screen which enhance the reading ability of the tiny text fonts.

That is the bad news but for the good news, rumors has it that Dell is teaming up with a Quanta to produce a Dell PDA phones, which is a good move considering the fact that PDA phones would be in great demand in another 6 months time with the launch of Apple iPhone. Quanta is a Taiwanese company which produces products like notebooks and handhelds for other brands. Some of its customers include HP and O2.
