It is a dud for sure no metal pins to be seen. but 34 megs from a piece of plastic aint bad so I might shove in a piece of wood in there and I might get 64 megs(just kidding)
I was just trying to figure out how the memory is being split into, and that memory card stuff has to be coming from somewhere else. Anyway I will figure it out somehow, and if the wood business works I might be on to a new venture. :D

The axim comes with two types of memory -- RAM and ROM. RAM requires electricity to keep from going blank, but things stored in the rom (or built-in storage as it is referred to in file manager) will save even if the Axim totally runs out of electricity.
You get 64meg of ROM, but a good portion of it is used to store the operating system (and programs like pocket excel and pocket word). What is left is built-in storage, in the amount of 31.something megabytes. If you get a REAL SD memory card and stick it in the slot in place of the plastic insert, you'll see a new type of storage -- and it will vary in size depending on the card.
If you put programs into memory, you should backup to built-in storage or storage card, or you'll lose everything if your batteries run out of juice (or you have to hard reboot for any other reason).
Hope this helps.
