Dell first to offer Windows Mobile 2003 SE handhelds

This week, the world's largest computer maker unveiled three new Pocket PC devices, the first such devices to run the most recent release of Microsoft's PDA OS. Dell's new Axim X30 Pocket PC line runs Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition (SE), but that's not the only unique thing about these machines: Two of the models offer both Wi-Fi (the 802.11 wireless standard) and Bluetooth capabilities at unheard-of lowball prices. For price-conscious Dell, these machines are a logical extension of the company's standard pricing policy, but the Axim X30's effects will likely reverberate around the PDA community for weeks to come.
