What's an Axim fan to do?According to a related post from Engadget, Dell removed the last x51-series models from its retail site. The move brings the Axim product line to an end.
Dell first launched the Axim in 2002. The devices were trailblazers among the Pocket PC crowd, offering early PDA-based Wi-Fi access and other tech innovations. Rumors of a Dell smartphone are all around the blogosphere, but for now it looks like Dell is going back to basics to fix its core business.
