I've long suspected my next iPAQ would not be an iPAQ. Well, I'm still jonesing over the iPAQ 5550, but here's a little something for the HP haters out there - seems Dell is not standing back and letting gateway and others take the lead...
"Dell Computer has revealed that the next generation of its Axim handheld will include both Wi-Fi and triband radios, signaling a new wave of mobile productivity. In addition, an executive at the company's headquarters here said Dell plans to develop a device based on Microsoft's Smartphone platform.
The next generation Axim will allow users to switch between Wi-Fi networks and CDMA or GSM networks. Due out in 2004, the device will likely support 802.11g, which offers backward compatibility with 802.11b and speeds of up to 31Mbps.
The Axim will also include Bluetooth to permit synchronization with client devices, including notebooks, said Anthony Bonadero, Dell's director of wireless product marketing, during a set of exclusive briefings arranged for InfoWorld here this week."
I'm still wondering if smartphone will be the wave of the future, I think not. But each day I do find wireless to be more and more useful/critical, and I will never buy another PPC without integrated wireless of some sort - at a minimum Bluetooth and WiFi, probably phone capabilities in the future as well. Whatcha think?
