Here is my short list
-use my exising 1 GB SD /4 GB CF card.
-install ewallet, beeline gps, Holux CF GPS driver, worldmate

Some more questions.
-I still use avantgo. Does this still come installed. If not, I will not be installing it

Nope, not installed on mine.

-I still use active sync 3.7 (build 3083) because of the wireless sync. Do I need to upgrade this in order to use the new ipaq. If so, how do I install the new one so I can still sync with the other device I have and so it shows the programs installed.

Download version 4.5 from Microsoft here. You won't be able to sync using WiFi, but you can with BT.

-I will need to get a backup utility. I use sprite now but from what I read, I need to get an updated version.

Yep, you'll need to update to version 6 to work with WM6. It has a few bugs yet (password causes an error, and a few other quirks) but it basically works.

-I have two plugs that go into the wall and car that have a plug for the usb. I have used this on my X5 and my original ipod shuffle. Can I use this with the usb cable to charge the 210. I have been reading that the usb charges slow, I think as it relates to being plugged into the pc. If I can, I will not need to purchase this again.

The limit on charging from USB is internal to the 21x, and is pretty limited, even if you had a beefy wall-wart to provide the power. You do get a little fan-shaped adapter that has a barrel connector at one end and a 24-pin connector on the other that can use higher amperage to charge the battery faster. The wall-warts you have may be able to be reused, if they provide 5V and 200mA, but the charging rate will be really slow. I recycled my X50v wall wart and car adapters, with the barrel connector that I used with the fan-connector for the Ax with the fan connector for the HP and it's working well everywhere.

I have XP on my pc. what is better. the most recent version of activesync or just use WMDC in its place?

Only Activesync works on XP. WMDC is, I am pretty sure, just for Vista.
