Version 5.00 had a bad memory leak on VGA devices, crashing PDAs within an hour. V5.21, out for long time and available on their site, fixed that problem. I've used on on X50v for 8 hours trip, no memory problem. And now after it exits, you can use the PDA immediately (v5.0 was taking 10-15 minutes or soft reset, to start using it again).
