I went to Best Buy today to fool around with a bunch of PPC's while I wait for my Axim. It was interesting; laughing at the exorbonantly priced iPAQ that has almost identical features to Axim (Axim may have more). Lot of people were there - xmas shopping and what not. Heard a lot of "Pocket PC's are too expensive" yadda yadda. But, the next thing they do is get a palm m515 wich retails for $349.99 and has a $50 rebate...sound familiar? :wink:
So, I felt it was necessary to enlighten a few people and tell them about the Axim X5. I pointed at the iPaq 39xx models, and said "same speed, same space, 1 more expansion slot, a bit smaller screen (pointed to Toshiba for screen size), a tad bit thicker, and has rubber grips." Of course, they are amazed. Next question is: "How much?". I smile, and say "As much as that palm m515 you got in your hand." They were shocked, to say the least.
I caught the attention of the guy that was running the PDA area of the store. He told me he was looking into getting a Pocket PC to play videos and whatnot but couldn't dish out the $$. He was like, "Whats this Dell you were talking about?" 8)
Hehehe, I had fun.
