Brighthand and Rumours of Axims
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "NEWS" @ 03:00 PM
Ready for a few rumours? Of course you are. :wink: Someone has apparently been talking to Brighthand about Dell's plans for the Axim line through to the end of 2006. So what do you guys reckon? Do the following rumours have a ring of truth about them, or is this just wishful thinking?
"Dell's Axim X30 models, which was introduced almost a year ago, will be discontinued in the next month or so. The Axim X50, though, will be around for more than another year. This is a strong indication that Dell intends to release a Windows Mobile 2005 upgrade for this device. This fall, Dell plans to release a new handheld with a multimedia focus. . . . Dell will emphasize its audio and video playback capabilities, as well as its ability to play games. To allow it to store large amounts of music and video, this will be Dell's first handheld with a built-in hard drive. . . .In mid-2006, Dell intends to introduce its first cellular-wireless handheld."
