According to some reports Dell might be about to buy Palm to kickstart a move into the smartphone market.

Dell is stopping selling its Axim range of PDA's and analysts are convinced that the PDA is dead and that the smartphone is taking its place.

Hi axxxr,

Well i tend to agree with that statement now that Smart phones are powerful enough to handle all the tasks as efficiently as a stand alone device. The convenience factor of only having to carry one device can not be underestimated either IMO just hope Dell maintain the quality as of late i have heard their quality has dropped due to pricing and volumes being produced.
