Ok Going to go down the list of issues/questions I have about the axim.

1) the D Pad, is it really that flimzy (heard many reports of it breaking, getting stuck in 1 direction, not working, etc)

2) How well does the axim 300/400 (please specify which) play Pocket PC games (lets say Everquest, Tomb Raider)

3) Does the Axim have a hardware Graphics accelerator?

4) Emulators (like the commodore 64, Nintendo) how well do they run on the Axim 300/400(please specify which).

5) Does the Axim Develop Stylus Screen Lumps (constant screen pokage)

6) How well does the handwritting recognition program work? Do you use the virtual keyboard when writting notes, or do you use your normal handwritting?

7) Toggle wheel, what is that/its use.

8) Software Related, is there any Pocket PC based C++ compilers/writter programs (Considering what I am working on).

9) Hardware, The Axim has a 32 meg rom, how much of that rom can you access (how much of it does the operating system/loaded default programs take up?

10) How well do videos/games/music run off the SD card?

11) 64 Meg Ram. Is this Internal, or are they refering to a separate SD card that comes with the Axim?

12) What does that IR port on the axim do?

13) Specified to those in college, could I take Classnotes using my Axim (while in class), does the Hand writting recognition program work that well?

14) How badly (or how many) of you bought the Axim Keyboard (either the 49 or 99 dollar model)? Any complaints/complements?

15) Taking an Educated Guess based on a daily usage of about 3 hours (or 20 hours use a week + rechargings). How many months would the Axim Battery Pack last before having to replace/buy a new one.

16) Back to the Rom, Is it necessary to load in programs into the Rom/Ram of the Axim (the onboard Chips, not the expansion cards) to get the best performance out of applications/videos/music, or will those applications run just as well off a SD or MMC card?

Any other comments or complaints about your Axim would be welcome. I am also looking for any noticable differences between the 300 and 400 Axim (considering coughing up the 100, or getting the keyboard, depends).

Thanks in Advance.
