Oh boy. It's not that I don't believe them, it's just that they haven't materialized yet. A conversation I once had with an old friend gave me hope that this rumor is true, but we have to wait and see.
According to a Forbes report, Dell could be bowing a brand new smartphone / converged media device as soon as early 2008. It mentions a new device that is being jointly developed with Quanta and has video, an MP3 player, and Internet access. This device will make an appearance "early next year". Whether it is a new type of standard PDA with Wi-Fi, or an all-new device that has cellular radios on board, the article doesn't detail. Nothing is known about its potential operating system or what other technologies might be on board. The only thing that is certain is Dell needs a product like this right now.

If they make a X51V that can make phone calls then I'm all over it. It'd be nice if they could throw in a GPS receiver, FM radio and might as well do the kitchen sink while they're at it.

Hmm...sounds like a "me too" approach. From what I've read, Dell is having a rough time of things right now (not that everyone isn't also having a rough time), and this sounds like a wild stab at something 'new' to help Dell out. If it is nothing more than an Axim x51 with a phone app / cababilities, then it will fail, given the specs of other smart phones right now. I changed to the iPhone from an Axim, and wouldn't change back to an Axim-phone, if the Axim had the same specs as current models, "just because it's a Dell"
