Dell Axim X50 416mh, 2006-01-14
I have purchased this product and had the idea that it offered 802.1 wifi compatibility. It didnt so i had to go out and buy a socket wifi CF card. Other than this problem i have been fine. Works smoothly but its battery could be a little longer. Lasts about 2 days when in fair use. Excellent for non-wifi users. Holds SD CF type memory cards, contacts,appointments, tasks, any media file (not on all DMA files), and if u have the right tools the memory card could hold a couple full length movies. Overall Excellent Product

 Seamless functions, 2006-01-10
After having my Palm go completely un-synchable, I was determined to find an easy to use, up to date PDA. Though my needs are generally for addresses and appointments, the Axim was so easy to set up and use that I will explore its other uses. The software offers continuous synching while it is attached to my computer, and simple drag-and-drop for moving files from the computer. In short, the Axim suits my needs perfectly and promises easy exploration of other, more entertaining functions.

Excellent Product, 2005-06-04
I find my dell pda to be very usefull from scheduling to listening to music to pretty much anything I need it for. I don't know why anyone would buy an IPOD when you can buy a PDA and get all the same features and much much more. You can add memory as you wish and save as many songs you want onto the sd cards.

 Good for most functions, but not for music, 2005-04-26
In most respects the Dell Axim X50 is a very good product. Bright, clear screen; lightweight; stylish; adequate built-in memory; two expansion slots to give you the option of using either SD or CF cards. The one drawback is that the firmware has serious issues with DRM (digital rights management) music files, such as the ones you can download from online music sites like Musicmatch.
Now, you might assume (as I did) that since Dell and Musicmatch have partnered, the Musicmatch downloads would be playable on a Dell PDA. You would be wrong. Sometimes the downloads will play, other times they won't - I have no idea why, but it has something to do with the Axim's inability to recognize the licenses attached to the music files. Musicmatch has no firmware upgrade for the Axim and offers no support. From what I understand, other customers have encountered similar problems with other download services.
Bottom line: For most functions, the X50 is great. For rights-protected music, look elsewhere (or at least be sure the Axim will work with the service you use).
