Yet the point of my post was that converged devices are the focus of attention for manufacturers - in other words, devices with phones. The Axim cannot be described, under even the most generous definition, a phone (as it lacks independent network connectivity, unlike a Treo). You argue that HP hasn't given up the PDA market - I say it has, as most of its devices are Smartphones. Converged devices can have PDA functions, but they are NOT standalone PDA's, which the market has apparently abandoned.
You yourself said 'Hp has no plans of abandoning stand alone PDAs and will most likely profit a lot from Dell quiting the market', then do a turnaround and now say 'well, PDA phones are PDA's too' when asked to prove that HP has not dropped out of the standalone market. Get your arguments straight ahead of time. HP has pretty much abandoned the standalone, unless you count the car-GPS/jukebox rx5915. There is precisely ONE new nonphone PDA out... and it uses WM5.
Two devices, and not using WM6. If that doesn't count as 'abandoned', then you're very optimistic. It's probably feasible for Dell to do a WM6 upgrade, tech-wise. However, for busines reasons (phones are where the money is), a WM6 upgrade of unlikely at this time. Gee, to think you're so lazy that you had to get me to bring up points to support your position after you couldn't argue against me... ;)
