weblordpepe: That looks like a really awesome device. How much did you fork out for your Axim there? Because having VGA output and bluetooth keyboard would basically let you use it as a desktop if you wanted. I have an X3i and it's brilliant for $200 but I'm stuck with stylus and no bluetooth. Wifi tho :)

Got the Axim X51v for $650.00 off TradeMe, still waiting for it paid for it on Tuesday so waiting for payment to go through and for the Jafa to send down to the Waikato (lol) can't wait, want to use it as main Diary, PDA and use the Apache as Phone, txt etc

It's going to make my job easier, as a Marriage Celebrant I will be able to whip out my Axim and the Bluetooth keyboard and write up the vows right there with the clients... easier than the Apache... just need a small bluetooth printer and I will be set, and maybe a project to have presentations? (just dreaming)

Cheers

If I recall correctly, HP and Canon both have portable printer that have BT option, and IrDA even. Use that and rechargable battery then you're mobile!

Hehe... the price tag for them though... is a different story. Not over pricey but i guess you pay for the portability. Definitely great mobile option!

Yeah with the increasing numbers of apps & games for Pocket PC Im starting to think its a really cool platform. After all, its a platform spawned for devices with little resources.

And little/scarce resources is the mother of good coding :) Palm gurus will probably bite me there actually but you get my point.
