www.aximsite.com for information. IMO, the X30 vs X50v is no contest in
favor of the latter. OTOH, the PPC platform has not lived up to its
promise of useable software. "The next OS..." is the mantra of the PPC
user.

Biggest difference is the screen resolution. The X50V has 640x480 VGA
resolution. While the X30 has 1/4 the resolution and is QVGA. The X50V also
has dedicated video memory. X50V has Bluetooth and 802.11b wireless. Also
the X50V has Secure Digital as well as Compact Flash type 1 and 2. The type
2 is particularly interesting. I've seen 6 gig compact flash 2 microdrives.
No telling how big they will eventually get.
