Oh Busy Day, Oh Busy Day

Hello all;
I am only getting to MMM for the first time today so late because it is the end of the day. I can honestly say that this has been one of the busiest days that I have had in a long time. I am actually quite tired, and didnt even get everything done that I wanted to do, but this part I had to do seeing that its my heart that at least one person is encouraged anew on this day.

Here are some of the news items that came across my desk throughout the day:
Dell released the Axim x51/x51V models. This is an update to the popular x50/x50V models that had been out previously. The new model is exactly the same as the outgoing, except for the additon of 256MB of internal memory and the Windows Mobile 5 operating system. Dell is also offering an update to x50/x50V owners to Windows Mobile 5 via CD (but not the RAM). See more information here about the x51v, and about Windows Mobile 5.

Sprint announced a few days ago the offering of the HTC designed 6700. This is a Windows Mobile smartphone that has Bluetooth and Wifi wireless built in. There have not been any reviews of note that I can find, but did find a user who does have one and posted plenty of pics and reflections on the 6700. If you are in the market for a Sprint PDA phone, this should be very close to the top of your list.

Notebook Review has been chock full of news lately. I really recommend checking them out if you are interested in the latest developements with notebooks. They covered an Averatec model refresh, Dell and Verizon, and some great deals.

Treonauts has gone to cover DEMOMobile and chronicled the experiences (now in Day 2) here.

PalmInfocenter reports that Palm is being sued and that new models are coming.

And finally, a great article for those looking to reasons why going digital can be more effective than staying paper, an article at 1src talking about digital redundancy and how to reduce it.

Its quite a shame really. If they actually identified more than just the rate of returns for a non-specified number of users (heck at least quote a number from a well traveled web forum), then it would have some more merit.

The 600 I have is second hand and works great. Most folks I know have a problem because they dont read the user manual, not because of the hardware. Those that have had recurrent hardware issues, I understand the angst and am with them, Palm should do better. But if you expect anything created by man to work right 100% out of teh box all the time, then you are in for a shock. rather, expect it to work, and iof it doesnt, exhaust your options in getting things right. This isnt an option in my opinion, its a smear. And not a good one.
