You guys talked about how the Axim line is miles ahead of any WinMo cellphone on the market as far as specs go, and try to say that it has to do with the hassle to get everything tested and approved before you can get a cellphone to market. While that may be part of it, a device with the specs of the X51v plus a cellular radio would be such a battery hog, the tradeoff of additional size just to have a device that is usable for even one day would not be worth even releasing. The Axim's standars battery is 1100mAh, to power a VGA screen and 624mhz processor. The Moto Q is half those specs (QVGA 312mhz) with a standard battery of 1130mAh and I know that I can't usually make it a full day with that. To make an Axim phone of those specs would require a battery as big as what they use in the OQO. By that time, with all of that bulk its no longer such a hot device.
HP has had plenty of time to fine-tune its finger-friendly TouchSmart software, and now, its newest model, the TouchSmart 610, ushers in a fresh design, highlighted by a hinge that allows the display to slide down and lie nearly flat.
