A lot of reviews I have read about the Axim mention that the advantage of the dual expansion slot is that the CF slot can be used for wi-fi, bluetooth cards, etc. while the remaining SD slot can be used just for memory. Can the reverse also be true (i.e., the CF slot used for memory and the SD used for wi-fi, etc.?) Is the CF slot ALWAYS associated with wireless access because it is only available on CF cards, or are CF wireless cards just cheaper than SD wireless cards?

Also, does the option of having one CF or SD card with BOTH memory and wireless capabilities exist? If so, is this the only alternative for those who want more memory at the same time as wireless access with PDAs such as the Palm Tungsten, which only has one SD slot but no built-in wireless access?

And another related question I have is: What is the difference between SD cards and MMC cards? They look like they are the same!

Thanks very much. I hope I have been clear in my questions.
