PC Magazine Reviews the Dell Axim X50v
"The "v" in Axim X50v stands for VGA, but it could also stand for value. This high-end PDA packs in great power per dollar, focusing on features for multimedia enthusiasts and gaming addicts. The X50v looks and feels just like its midrange version the X50. But turn it on and you see a bright (though not very saturated), sharp 3.7-inch 640 x 480 VGA screen. Backing up the screen is an entirely new video architecture based on the first PDA graphics chip with dedicated memory, the Intel 2700G. The 2700G, with its 16MB of dedicated VRAM, delivers full-screen, high-quality video and impressive 3D-gaming performance. It's like changing from PCI to AGP graphics on a PC. But right now, only two games (Enigmo and StuntCar Extreme) and Windows Media Player 10 use the new chip. With all other software, you won't notice the difference."

Very nice unit!
Now if they would just make one with a camera. Since I use the camera all the time... the iPaq rx3700 is the best I can do here in the states.

Just get an SDIO camera...they're around $100 or so, for a 1.3 megapixel add-on that you just slip into the SD slot on top.

Or a CF camera. Since the X50 has both slots, you get to chose whether you want to go SD memory and CF peripherals, or vice-versa.
