Two thoughts:
1. Could they have possibly found a nerdier picture to use on this page??? :lol:
2. The site says the Dell will be avaiable "for order" on Nov. 18 -- wonder if that means they will start shipping them on that date, or just taking orders for a later ship date...

Tease
I'm not sure which is more of a tease, the pointless video or the hot young female model. Oh well, given my options, I can bet which one of the two is going to be wrapped under this years xmas tree for me (and from me) :x-mas:

My biggest question....will it be sold in retail, or DIRECT from Dell only? If they sell it direct it's going to be a flop...even at that low price. Enterprise customers will gobble it up, but consumers won't even know this thing even exists. Consumers buy gadget in retail outlets where they can kick the tires and compare features.
And from the pics, Axim looks like a brick. 8O

Two words: Sex sells!
And that geeky looking dude is getting quite the look from a well endowed young lady, and his Axim x5 is only inches away from her big American breasts.

Yeah, I was hoping the original rumored pics were fake. This is one of the most unattractive PDAs I have ever seen. Do we know the actual specs? It really looks like a brick.

Dell is never going to capture 25% of the handheld market with this thing.
