Dell Adds Bluetooth to Axim X3
"The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has approved for sale in the U.S. an Axim X3 personal digital assistant from Dell with both a Bluetooth and an 802.11b chip, according to documents posted on the FCC Web site. Adding a Bluetooth PDA to its lineup would fill a hole for Dell, which thus far has not released an Axim with that feature. Bluetooth is a short-range wireless networking technology that is used to connect mobile devices, such as PDAs and cell phones, or accessories such as headsets."
So it looks like the X3i will go head to head with the 4150 and other dual-mode devices from HP. The more competition, the better it is for consumers!

I like it!
How does everyone else like their X3 devices? I almost got one, but took advantage of HP's $50 back on the 1935 instead...

Do we have a ETA on its arrival? I was leaning towards a 4155 but with the (expected) price difference the Dell may just have the edge.

Awesome. Combined with a X3 flip cover from thepocketsolution.com, I can finally have a small PDA w/bluetooth and w/flip cover.

Anyone know when Dell will start offering this? I checked the Dell website, and the Bluetooth X3 wasn't there yet.

Put a USB host port and a CF slot (along with the SD slot) then they got a sale here!

After 4 years 240*320 resolution, PPC is really boring now. Even add bluetooth in x3i, I still don't think it will be a good sale.
Hope PPC2004 devices come in earlier.

My co-worker JUST got an X3i TODAY, and then this story comes out. He's on quite a nice rant right now!!!

I agree. We need to see more devices that run at 480x640. I predict every PDA over $300 will ship with BT and WiFi. Buying a PDA with out BT is like buying a desktop with out USB in the year 2004.

That's a little far out there. Maybe like buying a desktop without USB in the year 1999. You can live without it, but it's damn cool to have.
