Dell Axim x50v

One of the first PDAs to sport a dedicated 3D chip with a whopping 704KB of dedicated on-die memory.

PDAs don't often get a looking at in Atomic, however this is one of the first such devices to sport a dedicated 3D chip, the Intel 2700G5. This GPU has a whopping 704KB of dedicated on-die memory and an additional 16MB shared with main memory and reduces the stress on the admittedly feisty Intel Xscale 624MHz CPU. With a pixel fill rate of 84 million, it's not the best thing since diced cheese, but enough to spit out some non-shabby graphics on its notable 640 x 480 display.

With the supplied 3D demo of Enigmo, Intel's chip managed to kick up the heat levels, but nothing so high as to be uncomfortable. Reasonable, but by far nothing to make this your primary reason for purchase.
For video, around 1200kb/s seems to be its match for playing a 640 x 480 WMV video without too much stuttering, occasionally pausing to re-buffer.

Audio technology hasn't yet come so far as to remotely vibrate clusters of air molecules to create sound. That said, headphones are necessary for anything other than the menu bleeping sounds, as the inbuilt speaker is tinny.
Unfortunately its major drawback is that the screen is overly reflective in even low lit environments, spending half the time staring at yourself. Discounting this, the screen is otherwise bright, with crisp graphics and a powerful backlight. Something we noticed was that the phase control was slightly misconfigured for reds and blues. Luckily it doesn't glaringly stand out.

Looking at it from a gaming platform point of view, the capability is a swanky addition, but it's no PSP or DS. Nonetheless, if you're after a new PDA with all the bells and whistles, definitely check this one over.
