I really want to get a Tablet PC, but I just haven't seen a model that's right yet. However, I have found a handheld that's just awesome: The Dell Axim 50v. Check out these specs:

* 3.7” Screen
* 640x480 resolution @ 16bpp // YES, that's full VGA resolution
* 624 MHz Intel Xscale PXA270 processor
* 128 MB Flash ROM and 64 MB SDRAM memory with XMB (cross media bar) on-screen navigation to access memory
* Integrated 802.11b Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 1.2
* Intel 2700G multimedia accelerator with 16 MB of video memory, providing DVD-quality video playback and supporting dual display capability for professional presentations
* VGA-Out (extra)
* Integrated CompactFlash Type II and Secure Digital / SDIO Now! / MMC card slots
* Headset / headphone jack (cell phone replacement anyone?)
* Full duplex 16-bit 44.1 Khz audio

Now THAT's a lot of handheld for $500.
