In case you didn’t already know this, I am the owner of the 120,000 member Aximsite.com as well as this site.  Aximsite is a Pocket PC Community that evolves around the Dell Axim Pocket PC for the most part, similar to how this site was with iPAQ before HP decided sites like iPaqHQ were not important.

This said, I have been very reluctant to accept facts and rumors presented that lead to the Dell Axim’s death. There have been many reports of business and Dell Sales rep discussing the death. One of the companies  had an employee make it over to Aximsite armed with info given to them by their Dell Sales rep.  Shortly after he published it, some official from that company franticly asked me to remove these posts from Aximsite. That incident should have opened my eyes to the fact that these rumors had substance. In fact all the rumors caused me to post this on Aximsite.

Yesterday PDA Live ran a story where the writers saw on a show that Dell was not going to make the Axim any longer. It is likely that the info conveyed in this show could have stemmed from the rumors that were making it around the blog  world recently.

"I was watching DL.TV today. The episode from April 11, 2006 and Patick Norton said he hear from someone at Dell that said that Dell will not be making any more new PDA’s."

The recent rumors, a gut feeling, and vibes from dialog of my own with Dell, leave me ready to throw in the towel. No, Aximsite does not go away. Yes, I am not expecting to see any new Dell Axim PDA.
