I just ordered my Axim and I've started looking for a cheap CompactFlash card (memory). The only problem is that all of the ones I have seen at Dustin (a major retailer here in Sweden) seem to be type 1 CF. The site doesn't contain any information regarding what type it is so I came to the conclusion by visiting the manufacurers site. From what information I've been able to find type I CF cards are not compatible with type II CF slots without an adapter. The strange thing is that even at the manufacurers site I had to search for some obscure document with advanced product specs to find out what type it was. All this is making me very confused. How the hell am I supposed to know what type I'm buying if noone seems interested in informing me (it seems like only type II will do to me). If anyone would be kind enough to clear this mess up for me I'd be very grateful.
