RIP - Dell Axim
Posted by Chris Leckness on 04/9/07 in Axim, PocketPC
It’s with great sadness that I bring you the news that the last of the Dell Axim X51v line has gone out the doors of Dell and puts an end of a great run of Pocket PCs from Dell.
In late 2002, Dell released the Dell Axim X5. The Dell Axim X5 shook up the Pocket PC world offering a great device for a good deal less than it’s competitors.
Dell followed up with innovative new devices for the next few years and ended up with the Windows Mobile 5 version of the Dell Axim x51v. This device was released more than a year ago and still remains one of the top of the line Pocket PCs out there.
For the last 3-4 months, I have been telling all the folks at Aximsite that it was going away. Only two days after I queried the community on which direction we wanted to move towards with Aximsite, the Dell Axim’s disappeared from Dell’s website.
There are some rumors popping up about a Dell Smartphone. While I hope I am wrong, I am being told by reliable sources that these have zero substance.
It was a great run Dell, good job, but I think you guys are making a big mistake pulling out completely.
