Dell X50 – Extra Info & Possible Picture

OK, now we have another 'official' X50 rumour. MacBirdie emailed us to let us know that PDAclub.pl has some more details about the X50 and an all important picture! There's three VGA PPCs pics (Asusa A730, HP 4705 & X50) which are scaled 1:1 for 72dpi displays so people can compare the sizes. The site is in Polish, so when I ran the page thought the automatic translator I got the following: "Information is pretty casual, pozostawia still very many unknown, but obtained parameters are following:"



Yup, that sums up the varied and conflicting information about the X50 all right. :lol: The latest info indicates that there are indeed three models. The 'low' end one has a 416Mhz processor, 64Mb RAM, 64Mb ROM, 3.5' QVGA and Bluetooth. The 'Mid' unit comes with a 520Mhz processor, 64Mb RAM 128Mb ROM, 3.5' QVGA, Bluetooth & 802.11b and a docking cradle. The 'high' end unit has a 624Mhz processor, 128Mb RAM, 128Mb ROM, 3.7' VGA screen, Bluetooth & 802.11b and a docking cradle. In this version the main battery is 1100mAh and the addition battery is 1800mAh. I wonder how long 1100mAh will last with a fast processor and a VGA screen.........

Anyone else notice that there's suddenly an awful lot of information about the X50 around at the moment? Hmmmmm, me and my suspicious mind. :wink: Anyhow there seems to be common agreement about much of the core information, but there is definitely conflicting information about 'minor' things like it's shape, whether the WiFi is 802.11b or 802.11g and 1800mA or 2200mAh batteries. Time will tell, but I think it's generally stacking up quite nicely at the moment. Any of you dudes debating the desirable details of getting a Dell X50? 8)

Hmm...not bad...not bad at all. If Dell releases any official information about this PDA, or releases it before HP releases the hx4705, I'll consider it. Otherwise I'm getting the 4705.

(Realize I'm running on a 2 year old iPaq H3870. :|)

Looks awesome. Forget 4700. I think I finally find my next PocketPC.

Heck, I've got an X5 that's nearly as old. :lol:

I really interested in both the X50 and the e830. The 4705 does not interest me as much. I'll await the confirmed specs and initial reviews with great interest........

Ooooooh....correct me if I'm wrong, but if it turns out to be G, wouldn't that make the X50 the first PPC with integrated G wireless?

Obviously I'd love to see this. IMHO, they should differentiate between the Mid (802.11b) and the high end unit (802.11g).

Oh, those of you haven't done so yet, visit the linked site and look at the the size comparison shot of 4700, Loox, and X50. I'm very impressed.

[MacBirdie]

It sure is a nice looking beast.

I wonder about the Bluetooth version though. Some manufacturers are about to release v 1.2 chips in their devices as hp already did in at least some of their new iPAQs.

I want one. Stuff any of the other features - I just want the first ever Pocket PC with built-in:

Intel™ Skynet™ Morphotech©. Yes - you too can have the appearance and specification of your Pocket PC change daily according to your mood...! Comes with special add-on leather jacket.

that border looks weird because its on 3 sides but missing from the top, maybe it looks more balanced when seeing the top too, but I'd rather have all the border be dark colored from this view.
