Dude! Yer Gettin' a Dell - Now Take Your Shoes Off and Put Them On The Belt
http://www.infoworld.com/articles/hn/xml/03/01/10/030110hndell.xml?s=IDGNS
"Dell will expand its network of Dell kiosks for customers to see, touch and buy a Dell PC, to airports and other locations, Dell chairman and chief executive officer Michael Dell said here Thursday."
This will surely include the Axim. What's in store for the Axim at Dell?
"One audience member asked if the Round Rock, Texas company's recently launched PDAs (personal digital assistants) would soon ship with 802.11b wireless LAN installed. They will in the future, Dell said, but for now users have to use one of the expansion slots on the device to get wireless capability, just like Dell does himself."
Can you say X7?  Now I want to see an ad with Steven running through the airport, leaping over luggage, with his Axim in one hand screaming "Dude! Don't let the plane take off without me!" :lol:

Ok, that would be cool, I'm sure Dell would make it mind numbingly cheap too! 
I have to admit, I am a little biased, but the "Dell dude" is so lame it makes me want to gag. Seriously, please tell me that you guys are laughing *at* these ads and not with them!

Some might say that they are having trouble with their marketing? Good product, crap marketing, I'm sure they'll get by though.

The Dell Dude has been hugely popular, and he is back. Just saw a new ad earlier this week.
I think Dell is sort of laughing at themselves with the ad. Those intern things are a flop. They are not memorable. Besides us geeks, ask someone if they have seen them then ask if they know what company they advertise for. Most won't know.

I like the idea of a Steven commercial of him running through an airport with an electronic gadget in his hand screaming.
Then, obviously, Federal employees can shoot him in the face.
Dude, you're getting a (jail) CELL!

How much do you think they'll sell it for? Right now, you could get a X5 Advanced with a $40 Wi-Fi CF adapter... so, how much does integrated add to the value of the device?
I'd probably pay $375 for an X7 assuming all they add is the wireless
