There are so many wonderful programs for the Pocket PC that you just can't get enough of and that you want all on your Pocket PC. Or maybe you just have a lot of pictures or music that you would like to store on your Pocket PC. In these types of situations, your best bet is to expand the memory on your Pocket PC…”

Fujitsu has succeeded in cramming 480,000 pixels into a 4in PDA-oriented LCD screen - more than four times as many as current PDA screens sport. Our Palm Tungsten T has a 320 x 320 display. Fujitsu's 4in panel has a resolution of 800×600 - enough, the company claims, to show digital TV pictures. It will also show an entire web page, Fujitsu boasts - but we reckon PDA users will need major eye upgrades if they want to be able to read the text.
Unfotunately this technology is still a couple of years away from actual production!!

Dell recently began offering the Axims X5 with the new software. Instead of introducing a new Axim model to go with the Microsoft software, which came out on June 23, Dell added it to existing X5 model, leaving its basic hardware unchanged. Since they began receiving Dell Axims with the 2003 software installed, a number of Dell customers have reported a noticeable lack of performance in the newer models versus older models with Microsoft's Pocket PC 2002 software….” Source: Cnet
