CNET says of the Acer N50 " It's a sign of things to come: PDAs are getting double storage slots (CF/SD/MMC), faster processors, while maintaining a cool smooth look. With the Acer n50, it includes all that and an 8-hour battery life.
The n50 adopts a simple yet fashionable compact design that's suitable for anyone who wants to make a style statement. Unlike the conventional Pocket PC design, its shortcut buttons have been fused on two tactile panels, giving it a post-modern look. Another significant difference from the Acer n30 is the return to using Intel processors. The PDA has plenty of inviting features, such as a faster processor speed of 520Mhz which is ideal for applications like its Pocket TV Enterprise Edition. Memory is ample, with 64MB of flash ROM and 128MB worth of RAM. What's more, with the inclusion of a removable battery, users will have the flexibility of having extra juice using spares.
The handheld has put on a tad more weight at 150g than the n30's 130g, though the difference can hardly be felt. Users should also note that as the face panels are placed closely together, dirt tends to accumulate along the grooves and it isn't easy to clean this out. Operating its five-way directional pad can be a little frustrating as at times it feels a little too rigid to be used. Forget about using your standard earphones as the n50 comes with a 2.5mm jack to be used with its packaged earpiece. The handheld's resolution also remains at QVGA, producing less sharp images than VGA-carrying PDAs. Those hoping for a non-volatile memory capacity will be disappointed, as this isn't available.
As far as PDAs go, the n50 holds all the good traits that a handheld should have. Although there's nothing impressively new with this Acer offering compared with other Pocket PCs, no doubt the handheld is able to perform well enough in terms of functionality."
