10% off with free shipping is not a bad deal. A lot of us got the $50 off, but are waiting a long time for the check. Your 10% off is at the time of purchase. I would stay away from SanDisk products ... a lot of people having problems with reliability. Without knowing your specific needs, I would recommend going with an extra 1440 battery ... it is thinner and you'll get close to 20 hours of use between the two of them.

(1) I know nothing about your router. Any 802.11b CF card should work fine ... I bought the Dell one, but if I could do it over again I would get the D-Link or the Linksys for $40 cheaper.

(2) Don't know of any aluminum cases yet.

(3) Use the SD for extra "permanent" memory so the CF slot is free for expansion. I have a 256MB CF card that I swap in when I want to listen to MP3s.

(4) No

(5) I don't think it is as important for the $350 Axim as it is for a $2000+ notebook. You can always extend during your warranty period.

(6) I like my Dell Thumbpad, and will probably buy the Dell Foldable eventually.
