• I recently got myself a new toy, and I’m pretty happy about it.  I bought the Dell Axim X50v
  pocket PC. Originally I never really considered getting myself one of
  those things, but there was something that pushed me in that
  direction.  Namely, the Sony PSP.
  For awhile I was considering getting Sony’s handheld primarily because
  of it’s PDA type functionality (mp3, video, etc).  Ironically
  enough, I wasn’t planning to buy any games at all for the system
  because nothing so far has interested me.  With that logic, there
  really is no reason for me to get a PSP when the product that I’m
  really looking for is a pocket PC.  That’s where Dell’s Axim came
  in.

  I know that it’s just another thing for me to carry around, but I’m
  going to limit my options on when and how I’ll be taking that along
  with me. It’s really not going to be a substitute to my laptop or my
  desktop (heaven forbids that happens), but it’s primarily going to be
  something I’ll take with me to work. With the 3gb of space that I have
  for it (SD card, Compact Flash, internal memory), I got to put some
  mp3, wma, wmv, mpeg, avi, etc… as well as downloaded shows of the Kevin & Bean show
  which I’ll now be able to hear in it’s entirety. I was also able to get
  an NES emulator to work for it, so that helps in the gaming department.
  I even have that
  device that hooks up the headphone jack to a car’s own stereo system,
  so that’s a big plus in the audio experience.

  So far I’m pretty darn happy with my purchase, and I have been using it everyday so far.  Good stuff, good stuff.
