Dell has released its Axim X5 handheld as as promised . At $299 after rebate, a reasonable buy, price-wise.
Listen, just because the entire world of 6 billion people is motivated by money, it doesn't mean that the few thousand of us here at Slashdot have to be as well. Why was such capitalistic nonsense included in the story writeup? Most of us here don't really care about money; I personally work only out of curiosity of science as a whole and don't even care about the money. In fact, I give half (25,000 Canadian) of my yearly salary away to various charities.
When we're all dead, people will remember us for the kind deeds we did while we were walking the streets and talking the talk. The little league team you coached, volunteering at a Mormon church, and all those bake sales for the PTA will be what you were best known for. Contract #189533 for $1,730.39 will not be relevant and no one will care how much money you made.
The only shitty part is you'll just be tossed into the Hudson River because you and your socialist family members don't have the money for a proper funeral and burial.
This comment is sad and mean, but one of the few truths in this world is that truth hurts.

The problem with Dell is that they appear to have a rather low R&D budget. So, by buying Dell, we are discouraging research.
So - on moral grounds, HP and Palm would be slightly more moral choices.
If someone can persuade me I'm wrong, I'll be quite happy with that:)
