While this story is clearly qualified as an unconfirmed rumor, the story over at Bargain PDA is still certainly worth mentioning, given the fact it involves one of the most successful manufacturers of Pocket PC devices over the past few years.
"Information allegedly provided by Dell to a corporate client states that Dell will not be producing any follow-up devices to the X51 line. The rumor states that due to decreases in the market, the company has decided not to produce any more "pen based" portable computers. The report goes on to say that the company has been looking at "converged" devices, but isn't prepared to announce a product."
The additional details as rumored are that the X51 line would remain for sale through the balance of 2006, and that the accessories lines such as batteries and chargers would continue to be offered through 2009. (Source- Bargain PDA)
