Hrmmm...

I just did a simple test here. Playing Thumbwars (about 19MB wmv file) in media player. Played on friends X5 Advanced (his was delivered 2.5 weeks ago) with 2002. Ran flawlessly. Run it on mine (delivered 1 week ago) which has 2003 and it and it ran VERY sluggish... runs ok for 10 frames... pauses for 5 seconds... runs okay for another 10 frames. And before you ask, I was reading the same CF card in both Axims, so it isn't a dodgy CF card. And it wasn't running in the background :(

I might be calling Dell tonight to talk about a refund :(
[from what I gather from postings on their own forum sites, they don't even want to admit the problem]
