Default Review of the DELL Axim X5

Just found a review of the DELL Axim including comments on performance and battery life at CNet.

That is one good lookin screen. 8O Great to hear it does indeed come with Rosco and the Powerpoint software. $40 of free, useful software. Incredible. The business users will probably do a backflip over the powerpoint software, and who can't use a good picture viewer with a screen like that. And don't foget the included warranty. (Don't think I saw that in the review?) With all of this and the near perfect gaming reports coming in, this thing could have easily held it's own in the $499 range.

The sad part is that I've taken to not trusting CNet even when I agree with them :?

The battery life issue was interesting, I hadn't heard that before. But for the most part this was just regurgitated <sp> press release, I didn't get much out of it (boy have I turned into a cynic)

Nah, C|Net has just lost what once made them great. To me, it really started to go down hill when they switched from the yellow color scheme. Then a 100 other domains started poping up, and poof... we've got C|Net of today. And now that ZDnet has joined em... there's little hope. PC Mag I don't agree with any more as well, so... there's a big void.

Not just "business"... grad students too. But I think if I tried a backflip, I'd hurt something....

Our only gripe is that there's no separate dongle for syncing the unit without the cradle.
Doesn't the sync cable count?
