Hi All,

Once again you all have proved an invaluable source of information as I await my new Axim (should be delivered today or tommorrow :) )

I do have another question. I am researching an axim accessory that will allow you to sync and power the axim from a computer (via USB port on computer) as well as simply charge the axim from a wall outlet, and finally allow you to charge in a car (via attached car accessory).

I have found two manufacturers so far that offer such a product.

The first is from Pocket Solutions

The second product is from Moonlight Technologies

The question that I have is whether or not anyone out there has tried any of the above products, and if so, if you can offer back any feedback. That would be greatly appreciated. Also, i've heard some people talk about being careful that the charger that you use doesn't send out too much "voltage" and overheat the axim, otherwise you'll have one big paperweight. Can anyone elaborate on this so that I know what to look out for. My concern is that the chargers that I have listed are not made from Dell, so they would be more likely to power "spike" and damage the axim sometime in the future. Is that a valid concern?

Once again, Thanks all.
