I've had my Axim x50v for one day and come up with a bunch of questions. Thought I might as well combine them here. Some are reallllllly obvious, probably.

(1) In the user guide, I notice that they occasionally suggest accessing the demo for guidance. But no matter how hard I search, I cannot find any demos. Can someone tell me how I get to a demo?

(2) I know people have complained that programs remain running even if you "x" them out. But do they still remain running if you use the switcher bar to end them? If so, then why bother with some of the add-on software meant to end programs?

(3) I have synced my computer with Avantgo (where I had an account for my palm), but do not see Avantgo on the Axim afterwards. Is this because I am not running Avantgo on my desktop at the same time? Do I need to change Avantgo settings to make it pc, rather than palm? Or am I simply not seeing where Avantgo is located on my Axis?

(4) I purchased an extra battery with my unit. Is there a way of charging it without putting it into my unit?

(5) I have downloaded several different input methods to experiment, including Fitaly and Caligrapher. But now I no longer see transcriber. Can anyone explain this to me, or tell me how I get transcriber back?

(6) ON my old Palm Tungsten C, I was able to download email from my 2 email accounts at once, but it appears that with the Axis I have to go into each account and then download the mail. Is there a way of doing this simultaneously, as with my Tungsten C?

Thanks for answers to any of these questions.
