Dell Axim X51v Case And X5 Information

A Dell Axim X51v case will allow you to take your X51v anywhere you want and keep it protected. You can search around the Internet to find the best deals but I prefer just using “Froogle” (froogle.google.com). Just type in “Dell X51v Case” and you will see a list of the merchants and prices. A great tool that you should add to your favorites list. You can also look for other accessories like a X51v compatible screen protector, stylus, case or cord.

Background Information about the Axim

The Dell Axim X5 was Dell’s first foray in the handheld computing market. It was also an instant hit, largely because it was priced at almost 50 per cent of the existing Pocket PC prices. The buzz began when Microsoft owner Bill Gates demonstrated it during a speech about personal mobile technologies at Comdex 2002.

The market was therefore ready when Dell introduced its two Axim X5 models: the entry level version which has a 300 MHz CPU with 32 MB of RAM and the advanced version that has a 400 MHz CPU with 64 MB of RAM. There are two expansion slots that the user can connect to devices like keyboards, cameras and Bluetooth cards. The advanced version comes with a stylus, a cradle, a special protection case, a user guide and a CD with Activesync 3.5, Outlook 2000 and some other software.

The X5 comes with two keyboards, a cover and a Margi Presenter-To-Go CF-VGA adapter. It has a mono speaker and built-in mono microphone, with a jack for stereo headphones. The other useful applications are Dell Backup that enables users to make backup copies of important files and Dell Switcher that allows users to close down files or to switch between applications.

The reset button can be pressed easily, but is not likely to react if it is touched by accident. The jog dial is useful for scrolling and for adjusting volume, without using the keyboard.
