If 1,2 and 3 are true that there is no need to keep potential PDA customers happy because they won't be producing any more axims
now there for X50 argument
1. dell has your money

Only 1 was true at the time that X50 was released. 2 and 3 were not true so dells better interest was to introduce WM5 update so that people will buy X51V.
conclusion: dell will not release update to keep potential PDA customers happy because there will be no more PDA from Dell and no need to keep those customers happy. however dell could release update to keep dell customers happy so that PDA owners go on and buy other dell products.
big question: does dell wants to keep their customers happy? In my opinion it makes sense for dell to release update to WM6 unless its costs are prohibitive. From releasing their update they will benefit having future customers for other products such as possible tablets, PDA phones or even regular laptops.

For the x50... why would they provide an update to WM5 for the x50? WM5 + x50 = x51. Dell wouldn't put out an updated OS if they wanted you to just buy the upgraded model.
Like I said, it doesn't matter whether there will be a new model or not. Part of being a good business is keeping customers happy. They won't shut down the PPC devision until they know their devices are good and customers are happy.
The reason they won't just up and quit, for example, is what if our axims were ticking time bombs and lets just say they all stopped working 8/8/7. With no PPC department, who would fix 'em?
And like stated... WM6 is just an updated WM5. Nothing has changed much except some of the code was tightened up.
You don't up and leave anything hanging... especially if you can't go back to fix it if something breaks. It's not only bad business, but bad moral. Dell will right things, even if it takes them 2 years ;)
