GSPlayer is nice for me. I use that program to play back music I have on my SD card. This, along with good Sony earbuds allow me to play very clear and yet decently loud music at 4% volume (the lowest my Axim goes). If the earbuds are a half inch away from my ears, I cannot hear them AT ALL in an ultra quiet computer lab. Therefore, you can bring music into any environment and not bother anybody.

Trust me, I was worried at first about doing that (after all, it is a QUIET lab), but I ran into NO problems. The key presses and mouse clicks in the lab are more bothersome to people than my earbuds, I bet. Also, the chief annoyance is cell phones, what I have is hard to notice at worst.

Also, GSPlayer allows for me to make one of my buttons into a hold and turn off screen button. When off hold, the screen is on, however I can randomly select a song of pause/resume playback. I use the jog wheel for all of this which works well with my case. Therefore, I use my belt clip and have smooth operation.

Another thing I use my Axim for is taking email and websites on the go. I use AvantGo and GMail (by turning Pop on, downloading with Outlook, and then syncing the e-mail with the pocket pc).

Above is what I use on a pretty much daily basis. I sometimes read documents, play games, jot down reminders, check the calendar, check and complete todos, and generally get an overview of my day... that and read the quote of the day...
