Mike, Even though the Dell Axim V looks like a PDA, it is not a PDA. The machine is a portable pocket computer. I have stated that the next phase in computing is a pocket PC with the ability to dock with graphics stations that will be ubiquitous. We are looking at machines that are fifty times as powerful as the desktop workstations in engineering and design companies that fit in your pocket and use relatively little "juice". Isn't this getting exciting?
