Handhelds revisited – Dell Axim X30

I found a few write-ups on specific PDAs lying around on my system today. These write-ups were never used where they were intended, so in the spirit of recycling I have decided to post them here. As you can see they’re kinda crisp and to the point – as much information packed into a 30 second reading routine as possible.

Dell Axim X30
“The powerhouse”

It may seem like an ordinary PDA until you look under the hood. If you���re the type who wants to be ahead of the others in technology, then this workhorse is definitely worth a look. While most PDAs today are still based on Intel���s Xscale processors, this one moves ahead and uses Intel���s next generation processor, the Bulverde, which zips along at 624 MHz.

The PDA also uses the latest Windows Mobile OS 2003 SE. Other major features include built-in WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, and 64 MB of RAM and ROM each. Given all these features, it���s fairly compact in size. It has a standard 3.5 inch TFT display that supports 65,536 colors and 240×320 pixel resolution. Besides the regular five-way navigational keypad, it has two shortcut keys. One enables/disables WiFi, while the other controls the voice record function.

If you think you���ve had enough, then you���re mistaken. The PDA also has an IR port and a flash memory expansion slot.

Vital stats: 4.6 by 3 by 0.6 inches, 133 grams
