Dell Stops PDA Development!

Seems like a logical place to post this story:

Dell has not announced new PDAs for almost a year and PDA products that it currently offers are old models that were introduced in 2004, indicated the sources. In addition, the PC vendor has not shown any moves in the PDA phone and GPS-enable PDA segments, the sources noted.
Could this be the end of the Axim as we know it ?

Sigh... It sure is sad if true. Still waiting on that update for my X50v. Still waiting. And waiting...

Good luck with the update. I think dell is going to wait until people have given up on the update, and nev release it. The x50 is a great device. I guess dell just wants to stay in the pc/laptop business and doesnt care about their pdas.

The PDA market is pretty small I would think. I can see why they would move away from it. Maybe we will get lucky, and a pheonix will rise from the ashes of Dell and bring us a PDA from a company that has real tech support and provides patches/updates when the EU wants them.

Some us won't forget, nor buy other Dell products, either.

Your money is all you have that they want

True, which is why most companies have bad support nowadays. They get low educated people in foreign countries with lower minimum wage to do tech support, (usually India). Once you buy a product, they're got the $, and thats all they care about.

Who cares if Dell is discontinuing the Axim line. HTC developed it (Dell branded it) and will continue to produce quality products and from what I hear we're going to see alot more of HTC branded products in the future.

Guys, it's stickied at the top of the forum. We don't need EVERYONE to make a thread about it
