iPhone, shmiPhone. Or should that be “iPhone, iShmone”? These
Internet-age capitalization conventions make being snide a lot more
complicated.
No, the Dell X51 Axim Pocket PC Color PDA
isn’t a phone. And that’s what I like about it. I hate talking on the
phone. Seriously, whose heart doesn’t sink when they feel their phone
vibrating? But it’s more than that. Taking calls, making calls,
checking messages – I’m done with it. The whole lot of it can jump in
the lake as far as I’m concerned.
Me, I only have pockets for the the Dell X51 Axim Pocket PC Color PDA.
It’s loaded with Windows Mobile 5.0 and a whole bunch of apps. No
playing pinchy-pinchy when you want to use those apps, either – this
pen-entry device doesn’t go for that funny stuff. To read PDFs on the
Axim X51, all you need is PocketXpdf. To read a PDF
on your iPhone, you need a computer science degree. Best of all, you
can be sure that you’ll never, ever be disturbed by a dreaded phone
call.
No, the X51 is not much of a
music or video player, with no storage space other than whatever you
can cram into the SD card slot. But fortunately for me, I hate videos
and music, too.
