    The name is Axim, as in "Axe him", not "Axmin" as in "Axe the admin"... uhm... OK, so there's little difference between the two. Fine.

    For $399 can I get one without a giant red bow? I'm not sure the extra bulge in my pants is necessary.

      Is that your Palm in your pants or are you just glad to see me.

    Will they be having a Wolverine model with retractable WiFi antenna? Or perhaps The Beast, completely Blue....tooth. Or the Cyclops model with a long-range IR port. ;)

    (not to be pendantic, but it's Axim.)

    Let's see ... oh!, Microsoft® Pocket PC 2002 Premium ! That's very surprising coming from Dell. I'll sit back and wait for the Wal-Mart $100 Linux handheld ;-)

    Dell do a handheld? - like my desktop and laptop? Is it black? Does it have a nice carry case? Will it 'work with my laptop'? OK I'll have one! Sweet!
