  REX 6000 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rex 6000 is an ultra-thin PDA produced by Xircom, then Intel, from about 2000 to 2001.
The Rex 6000 is the successor to the Franklin REX 5000, with a notable difference being the addition of a touch screen; additionally, it is possible to remove and install executable code (including both custom applications and the operating system itself).
The earliest release of the Rex 6000 had 1 MB of flash memory; later releases doubled this to 2 MB.

 REX 5000 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Franklin REX 5, (also known as the “Rex-Pro”, as the “Rex 5000”, and with cosmetic variation as the “Rex 5001”) was one of the Rex line of Personal Digital Assistants, each a PCMCIA PC Card and thus the size of a credit card, built around a Toshiba microprocessor emulating a Zilog Z80.
(The later REX 6000 again had only five buttons, but included a touch screen.) Further, with 512 KB of RAM, the Rex 5 had four times the memory of the Rex-3 (which, in turn, had four times that of the original Rex).
The REX 5000 was repackaged by Motorola as the StarTAC ClipOn Organizer, which piggybacked onto digital versions of their popular StarTAC phone (as well as some Timeport models), expanding the capabilities of the phone from having a capacity of 100 contacts to 1000, and adding calendar and note functionality.

 Rex handheld poised for resurrection | CNET News.com
On Monday, Xircom plans to announce the $150 Rex 6000, which builds on the original by adding a touch screen for easier input of information, as well as improved software aimed at making it easier to sync data with a PC.
The original Rex made a splashy debut at the 1997 Comdex trade show but was met with sluggish sales.
Although the Rex is seen as an alternative to larger handheld computers that use either the Palm or Pocket PC operating systems, Bubenheim said the Rex is aimed at a different market: those for whom small size is key.

 The Gadgeteer - Rex 6000 Review
The 6000 hardware is really quite impressive, but the entire package is less usable than the 5000 and Xircom has been unsupportive of their existing REX customers.
The REX 6000, with more memory, a sharper display, and most importantly a touch screen, holds the promise of making the REX a true PDA, capable of providing almost anything anyone would want of a PDA in a truly pocketable size.
My only complaint about the REX 6000 hardware is that the new screen asks more of the processor than it can comfortably deliver, and so the device seems slower than the 5000, some operations (like drawing the world map for the time view) take several seconds.

However, the Rex 6000 is not an ideal platform for games (or for any other software development, for that matter), so don't expect all the Bells and Whistles you get on a better platform.

Richard wrote in with news that Xircom is now giving out a free REX 5001 to anyone who calls to check the status of his or her outstanding orders for the REX 6000 placed before the official press release stating the delay.
In addition, the REX website is now stating that the company will ship the REX 6000 in "early 2001," whereas it used to say "early January 2001." It sounds like Xircom hasn't been able to fix the problem with the REX 6000 yet.
Xircom is not giving away free 5001s, but the Rex 6000 re-release is delayed, probably until the beginning of February at the earliest.
