the dark side gets cheaper: Dell Axim X5 for $100

[From Ben's Bargains]
If you're looking for a inexpensive PDA or thinking about making the leap from Palm to PPC (the dark side!), this is your chance. Dell is offering refurbed Dell Axim X5's for $125 with $25 off with coupon code D$HV2W2NBLV$93 [expires 8/10] for a total of $100 shipped! I'm not interested in switching, but I can't help but be interested. I'm racking my brain for a reason to buy this! Go to the Dell Outlet and have a look.

Looks like they have several specials in relations to the older model Dells. http://bensbargains.net/cgi-bin/viewnews.cgi?search ... good luck.

It's still 320x200, the Axim X5, right?

320 x 240, yeah. I thought that it would be a bigger deal, but I played with a friends PPC that has the same resolution and found that for my purposes it was unimportant. Of course I didn't look at anything with a particularly small font, so perhaps it would get jaggy then...

If you turn cleartype on, even smaller fonts are pretty crisp and clear. I can get down to 7 point Tahoma for example, which is plenty small and very readable....

Here's a screendump of ereader in 7 point Tahoma

That looks pretty sweet... Well, you never know what I could justify for my birthday. I really need a faster processor for my computer, but... hmmm
