I just got my Axim a week ago and I've been trying out some new programs. Well, I've seen that you're supposed to be able to store programs on an SD card so that you don't take up a lot of your RAM space, but I'm having a little problem. When the "Do you want to install to default" question comes up I put "no" and then try to click on the SD Card. But when I do this the little number at the bottom saying how much space is available says <none available>. I know this isn't true because when I check memory on my device it says that there's still 32M left on the card (other 32M are used up by pictures from my camera). What am I doing wrong?

I was also wondering where would be the best place to store programs like Journal Bar, tdlaunch, Calendar+ and Pocket Informant (RAM or ROM). I'm going to have 2 SD cards because I have a digital camera w/ SD card, so I won't have just 1 SD card in the device at all times. I don't want to use CF for memory, because I eventually want to get a wireless network card.

If the programs need to go in RAM, do you know if programs like Windows MediaPlayer and Microsoft Reader are stored in RAM? Can they be moved to an SD card to free up space in RAM? What about Word, Excel, and Internet Explorer?

Also, which is better? To have one big SD/MMC card with all of your programs and files on it, or a couple different cards with one or two programs and their associated files. (ie. one card with photos and Resco Picture Viewer, another card with Microsoft Reader and all your e-books, another card with games,etc?) I will always have a separate card for picture files and at the moment I'm intending on storing a picture viewer on the same card. Will this work? Thanks for any information.
