Wondering what a PDA will do?

**The_Other_One** · 11-05-2006, 10:11 AM

My PDA was calling me tonight... Litterly! I looked down and it'd powered itself up for some reason!

So I grabbed it and my camcorder to make a little video of what it can do. Realize this is the mid-level Dell Axim x51. It doesn't have the dedicated GPU like he x51v does. It's also only running at 520MHz, where others now run up to 612MHz(maybe faster...?)

The skip when I click Favorites is because I didn't want my favorties to be viewed

But I tried to keep all the load times and what not real-time, so you get some idea of the speed.

The video I played can be found on Youtube no problem, if you want a larger version. Just search for Weatherman roach, or something like that :roll:

Finally, I let the demo for Quake play a little while playing Blood Red Sandman in the background. Just letting you see how it can multitask

The MP3 does cause it to lag a bit, but it's still playable. The only reason I wasn't playing it personally is because you have to keep the stylus on the screen. It'd be hard to see what's going on.

*note*
I just realized the audio looks a little off at the end. I beleive that happened when I uploaded to Photobucket. It doesn't lag like that on the PDA itself

When did you buy it? I hope it was awhile ago, because you can buy those now for like $75.

Omega - Hehe, yeah, as long as it's the 400MHz XScale, it should be able to do most of this just fine. My old Axim x5 would do about all this, but not nearly as well. Videos seem to be a problem on it... The x3 my friend had(also 400MHz) ran videos MUCH more smoothly.

AdmnPower - There's a game called Racing Days that I beleive most any PPC based PDA will run. Give it a shot

You might just be pleased.

Burgerbob - What PDA does she have? I've made a post or two on here using mine, but I can't watch youtube stuff... These things are way too limited, I know they can do more than what's preloaded...
