Yeah, there's a "semi-hidden" routine on the IPaq that lets you, with a serial cable (I believe) copy your ROM to CF card, and then, in the event of a corrupt ROM (Which was happening due to some bad IPaq ROM update routines), you could reverse the process, and reflash it back.. I'm hoping there's something similar on the Axim...

p.s. Intel is claiming in the neighborhood of 100,000 rewrites with the strataflash.. So at once a day, you're talking 273 years.. If you figure you have the Axim for 4 years, that's 68 writes every day..
