Mobility Site - View Single Post - Hi I think Axim screen is no good for movies

Under certain lighting I find the Axim nearly impossible to view (short of holding at the correct angle). There are situations where it does indeed work, though ... and I'm quite happy with my x50v (not sure which one you use).

It's a matter of expectations, too. Watching videos wasn't really something I even considered doing with my Axim, but it was really nice once I got it working. The Axim has a larger screen (particularly watching video in full-screen landscape mode) and better resolution (well, the VGA does). But I bought mine as a PDA. Later I figured out I can have a portable movie collection with a few tiny SD cards (holding the movies). The iPod has more room (by far), but I have yet to be wanting for space (a power outlet, maybe ... but not space).
