Now You Choose - Concept 2

Gaming, XPS products submitted by dell_admin1 04/25/07 **IMPLEMENTED**


Participate in the product design process! Dell is using IdeaStorm to decide between two new product design concepts. Vote on your favorite and weigh in to tell us what you think.



When we unveiled the XPS 710 H2C at CES this year, we also uncovered it. There were a limited number of systems sprinkled throughout the show floor that had a clear side panel allowing easy viewing of the patent-pending two-stage H2C liquid cooling system.


Since then, more than a few people have suggested we offer a “panel with a view” as an option for our XPS 710 line. Now we need you to vote for one of these two options and, most importantly, share some reasons why you like it.


This “Now You Decide” vote campaign will be open from Wednesday, April 25 to Friday, May 11. The design that gets the most votes will be featured in a future generation of XPS gaming desktops.




Check out the latest Idea in Action on the new XPS 730.

Dell 3G Smartphone

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by captainsensible 04/18/07

Dell's recent axing of their Axim product line left a tear or two in the eyes of many. The well-loved PDA was a favorite, revered for its simple design, powerful processor, and thoughtful feature set. It looks like Dell may have a trick up its sleeve, however, as Taiwan manufacturer Quanta has revealed that it has been contracted to work on an upcoming Dell smartphone device. Codenamed "Fly," this handset will reportedly feature a full QWERTY keyboard, HSDPA, and more, all running atop Windows Mobile 6 Professional. You sneaky devils.

Provide OS upgrades for X30 PDA

Dell Web Site submitted by rileyowner 02/19/07

You have an abundance of Axim X30 PDAs out there, but even though they have the power to run the latest version of Window Mobil 5, you are not supporting your customers by providing an upgrade path for the. Provide an upgrade at least to this version of the OS. 2 Comments »

WM6

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Broadband and Mobility submitted by sjorge 04/27/07 **REVIEWED**

My Axim x51v is great but WM6 would make it better.
A free update would be awsome but even one at a small fee would be great!
PS: don't cripple bluethooth if you do give Wm6

WM6

I just got my Axim and it still is the best PPC out there, so I think it would be the right thing to do. Comment »

Axim with GPS

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Broadband and Mobility submitted by ranger 02/18/07

I see many new GPS devices on the market and wonder why Dell doesn't make a PDA with a GPS receiver built into it's already great PDA's!

Personally I think having your contacts etc. with WM5 in a car a perfect solution. 1 Comment »

Axim - future and WM6

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by kbachler 05/01/07 **REVIEWED**

1. I'd like to see a WM6 upgrade to the Axim X51v.
2. I'd like to see this line continue. I'm a former HP user and came to Dell because of the Axim. I am now looking at Fujitsu or HTC for my next device - probably a year from now.
3. I use the Axim nearly as a UMPC, and have looked at similar HTC devices. I'd like to see the following in a future Axim:

a) Continue with 2 memory cards, but both could be SDHC or 1 miniSDHC. I currently use 8 GB CF and 4 GB SD.
b) Cell connection with HSDPA
c) Bluetooth 2.0
d) Slightly larger device ok. mini keyboard nice, not required. Better way to attach extended batteries. Slightly lower voltage for charging if possible
e) Focus on being a UMPC. Add print drivers if needed. I use Softmaker, Textmaker, Westek Presentation (allows editing of PowerPoint also use Conduits pocket slides, Softmaker may come out with a new slide program - they could still be better than Conduits or Westek
f) Memory: 256 ROM, at least 128 RAM, prefer 256 if possible.

This would be a handheld UMPC. And it should be borderline doable now.

SDHC firmware update for dell axim pda's

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by simpsonsfan 04/03/07 **REVIEWED**

Currently, dell axim pdas are limited to 2GB SD cards. A simple firmware update to add SDHC support would allow 8GB+ cards to be used with them.

Dell Axim X51v Windows Mobile 6 UPGRADE

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by wickedlyslick 02/21/07 **REVIEWED**

Microsoft has released Windows Mobile 6!!!

I know many Axim users would appreciate an upgrade to Windows Mobile 6 as the Axim X51v exceeds the minimum requirements for an upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.

So, Lets see it Dell!!!!!!

DON'T KILL THE AXIM PDA's platform

Broadband and Mobility submitted by optical10 02/23/07 **REVIEWED**

The world leading x51v WM5 device is only now being bettered by HTC's future "Advantage” PDA / Smartphone matching the Axim 624 MHz power etc 2 years after the party started by Dell's forward thinking product!

Yes it may need to have GPS, EDGE, 3G etc to survive as a Smartphone in this mobile obsessed times but it can be done & the current Axim users will appreciate your efforts into the WM6 platform by buying your products if you reward their loyalty.

Obviously this may be previous if you’re not killing the Axim but most forums think you are so hence this post.

Ron Garriques ex - Motorola were counting on you.

Cheers

ps. For those who require other combi options like say PDA only I request the modarator to open a poll on this topic.

1. PDA only
2. Smartphone
3. PDA + GPS inc
4. Smartphone + GPS

I'm presuming it's a given on the two slots [CF/SD] staying in any of it's incarnations above as we have grown attached to their functionality as is also the case with BT & WiFi. Does much have to change for the Axim x51v to change to bring in inline with the soon to be released crop of WM6 units, I think not if the HTC WM6 units are any thing to go by. Heck the iPhone would also have some way to go to beat my current Axim x51v + Audiovox RTM 8000p voice & data CF card for phone usage. Plus don't get me started on all the add-on projects we at sites like aximsite.com have shared like afarre's X51V & Aximizer as Carputer: http://afarreAximCarputer.notlong.com & the Ratoc.com USB host controller CF card that allows me to use a 169 GB Seagate 2.5" HD portable battery caddy for ALL my media needs at home & on the go & soon a Logitech webcam!

Smartphone

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by gautam 02/16/07

The Dell Axim PDA is not super-popular, but I think if it moved into the SmartPhone realm (especially in order to compete with upcoming iPhone) then it could pick up some market-share and be a great device for US cell phone providers. 92 Comments »

Please don't kill the Axim!!!

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by cherdman 04/25/07 **REVIEWED**

Converged devices are too restrictive! I want my cell and PDA seperate! I love the Axim line and have been a staunch supporter for years. I'm sad to see it die.
