All PDA’s are not created equal. That was made very clear when Intel recently introduced their newest chip, the XScale processor with Wireless MMX. This new chip turns Pocket PC’s into multimedia internet devices. Functions like playing high quality video and intense 3-D games, once limited to desktop PC’s, are now possible in a hand held device! Product Example: Dell Axim X30 is a souped up Pocket PC that includes this new Intel Chip (speeds available from 312mghz to 600mghz). It has built in WiFi for wireless internet access. It is also Bluetooth compatible. This 4.9oz marvel is no lightweight. It will let you store and appreciate music, photos and video clips. It’s a great example of a powerful computer and communication tool in a small package. Prices: $199-$349-depending on the amount of processing muscle, memory, and wireless technology you use. www.dell.com
