More Axim X50 Details?
If you haven't been watching the X50 discussion from yesterday closely, more details are cropping up. PPCT member upplepop summarized the specifications of the three device models, as gleaned from the Aximsite discussion. Finally, FirstLoox has updated their VGA comparison page with the details of the high-end unit.
Simply put, if a VGA Pocket PC will be available for $499, it'll be a pretty awesome deal. 8)

I hope the X50v does have the USB Host... now I see it has a VGA out.
You could then have a very nice desktop dock with large LCD/Keyboard/Mouse/Storage...
...although with Bluetooth you can do X50v -> LCD and add a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, then all you're missing is mass storeage which could be handled by the WiFi...
Roll on October 10th.

I'm still somewhat irked that Dell didn't go with 128MB of RAM on their high end device. That deserves a good o' WTF?!?
Its not in any way a deal breaker for me but its still would have made the device all the more perfect.

I agree, 128MB would be nice, but keeping that memory constantly refreshed would eat into the battery life. What I would really like was true execute in place for the flash. In that way running programs took little of the main memory, although performance may be compromised...

Somewhere in that massive 8 page thread from the other day someone points out that they asked the Dell chat and found that 128MB will be available. I don't kno whether that wil be standard on all x50v models or if it will be an added extra. But it's good to know it's available, right? :wink:

AXIM X30 OR X50 and Powepoint
with these models and Only SD slot how does one connect to projector for presentation?
While waiting for an IMATE PDA2k, I purchased an Axim X30 and it works great with NOKIA 6820 and Bluetooth for internet. I'm rethinkiing one vs.2 pieces again.
thanks

The problem is I think some of these Dell reps are using the PIDOOMA model to get their specs. Consequently we don't know what specs are real and which ones aren't last I read the 128/128 quote only happened once or twice with a Dell rep. By and large the specs stated by most reps suggest 64/128(64). At this point I'm going to believe the majority of the specs stated. If it turns out that those specs are wrong I will be VERY pleasantly surprised.

I was reading the AximSite thread (rarely do I go there), and have to say: PPCThought sure seems to have a brighter set of posters.
Either that, or the moderators here remove the posts where people embarrass themselves.
So, after reading all this over the last couple days, I'm now looking forward to the official scoop. Apparently, it won't be long (it's October already!).
(Please, no comments on your perception of my own brightness.)

I'm assuming that since it has the Intel 2700G chip that you don't need additional hardware so there will most likely be either an included or purchasable dongle that does a interface swap from whatever plug is on the base of the device to composite/RGB/video etc.
