An update to the Microsoft software in Dell Computer's Axim has caused the handheld device's performance to slow, according to some owners--but the companies say they don't see any problem. The glitch affects the Axim X5--Dell's first and only handheld--running Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC, according to postings on Axim user Web sites and on Dell's own DellTalk Web message boards. Owners report that handhelds with the new operating system, which was launched on June 23, take longer to power up and to load applications than ones with the earlier Pocket PC 2002 OS.
