Pros Tons of features, great price.
Cons Size of the unit, Pocket PC OS.
Recommended it? Yes

Well, Dell is expanding its markets... it was just a matter of time before Dell dove into the handheld market. No surprise that it sided with the Pocket PC OS since Dell has had a strong relationship with Microsoft and Intel. Yes, many of the parts inside the Dell Axim are made by Intel.

Cons A little bulky
Recommended it? Yes

Dell is in a unique position. Their marketing muscle allows them penetration into companies that vary in size from the corner store to the top of the Fortune 100.

I fell in love with the idea of an E-Book reader when I saw a friend using her Kindle to read a newspaper. I've wanted one ever since, but the price always made it prohibitive.
