However the Axim has VGA-Out, which I'm missing on the 21x because PPT is a main issue for my use.

I'd say major issue with playback on 214 is not keys or low speaker (I pause with action/screentap and almost always use headphones for movies), but the absence of a dedicated graphics processor like in the x51v, with a playback framerate way less than the ideal (the final dancing scene at the end of "Meet the Spartans" DivX was more of a 1fps slideshow than a video)
