Dell Axim X51V
It is sometimes hard to on a previous product, which means that sometimes you have to find creative ways to enhance on what you have already done, rather than rely on a lot of new things. In the case of the Axim X51V, enhancement is the name of the game.

While this Dell Axim PDA looks and feels almost identical to the X50V, there are some important differences between the two PDA devices. First, the Dell 51V Axim PDA runs the newer Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system, with its quicker response to handling prompts. Second, you will find more memory to drive your software, which will also help with the speed of getting where you want to go when you want to go there.

All told, there is a flash memory capability of 256MB with the Dell Axim handheld PDA. That means a great deal of storage for a great many different types of files. You can have everything from your important business documents to your fun games and such at your fingertips and still have plenty of room to add more. Another reason this is such an innovation is that in earlier versions, the RAM was split between running programs and storing files. Flash memory would be used to take care of the lesser-used and larger files. Unfortunately, while this arrangement allows for pretty quick user response, it also created a continual drain on the battery power. What this would mean is that the unit could run out of power sooner, and anything in the flash memory would be lost. This new usage of the flash memory does slow down retrieval little bit, but it also means much less drain on the battery, so you will be far less likely to run out of batter power at a bad time.

Speaking of games, the cheap Dell X51V Axim PDA comes with a nice set of software games and applications. There are a total of nine games in the package, including full versions of 3D mini-golf and car-rally style games. You will also find helpful demo versions of a number of other games that you can try out and then purchase and download if any of them interest you.

One word about those sleek Dell PDA Axim aluminum cases that you see on the devices. That tightly sealed case is how the Dell Axim PDA battery is protected from all sorts of dangers. Make sure you take care of the case, so it can take care of your data.

When it comes to working with your documents, you may also see some differences in the amount of time it takes to open a large document. This is also due to the restructuring of how files are stored. Thus, a large Word document that may have taken three to five seconds to open before may take more like fifteen to twenty seconds. Once opened, however, there will be no lag in moving around in the document.

Sometimes you give a little to get a little. In the case of the discount Dell X51V Axim PDA, you may have to wait a little longer to pull up files, but all in all, you will find the functionality, the improved battery time and the overall working to be worth the few extra seconds it takes to get into a document.
