VGA Pocket PC.com
There's a new site in town, and it's called VGA Pocket PC.com. Unsurprisingly, it deals with Pocket PCs that have VGA screens, reviews and news about them. They also have a comparison page that you might find useful. Worth a look!

So, X50 is the thinnest, lightest, has fastest processor and largest ROM ?
Sweet.

Not counting the hx470x on the last two, of course :wink:

Errrmm... no. The hx4700 has the same amount of ROM and the same speed processor.
Both the hx4700 and Loox 720 are thinner.
As for the weight - the info at AximSite that gave the weight came wth specs for all of the new Axims - including the lower spec'ed devices. I think it rather unlikely that the VGA top end Axim will be 140g - rather I would imagine that the X50 range will simply start at 140g...

My bad. I only look at the 0.6" ... forgot to look at the metrics.

Well, I am sure any respected review site will use devices at comparable configuration. Taken directly from the site, the high end X50 with both radios that he/she tested is weighted at 140 grams.

The site hasn't tested the X50 - no-one has yet. The statisitics for the X50 come from Aximsite's forums and were given by a Dell rep. Only one weight was given even though multiple versions of the X50 (including one - with no graphics chip, half the ROM, no built-in WiFi or CF slot and QVGA screen - at the bottom end). Therefore I'm assuming that they can't all be the same weight. Bearing in mind all the features the top-end X50 has, and that they are being made by HTC (as are the Loox 720 and hx4700), I would imagine that 140g is the 'start from' weight with the top end being nearer to 160 - 170g (the smaller battery might enable it to weigh a few grammes less than the Loox despite the added GPU).

Thinnest? The loox720 is smaller in all but 1 dimension.
Lightest? Thanks to that teeny tiny battery, yeah.
Fastest processor? Well joined with the 4700 (and all the others if you o/c).
Largest ROM? It also has the smallest RAM. I know which of the 2 I find more useful...
Also compared to my (soon to be delivered) Loox - no USB host, no CIR, no camera, less buttons (BIG issue for me).
The only people the Axim X50 seems good for is gamers (possibly) because of the Intel GPU - and that's going to be held back in mobile-gaming-usefulness by the small battery.
Oh yeah, and it's made by Dell. :twisted:
Still, each to their own...

Guys, keep it civil please - just because someone is excited about one device doesn't that they're dissing the device you want. It's not a contest.

I wish they had an article on "How To Get MS Reader 2.3 To Actually Work On The hx4700 (And Yes That Includes Accepting And Acting On Screen Taps Without Freezing)".
That would be nice.
