Hi there. I have a palm pilot but I've dreamed for years of having a decent portable gaming device (Like one that can run emulators, etc). I knew pocketpcs could handle it, but at $500, I couldn't justify buying an Ipaq.

Now The Axim 300 is $180 and that's a very tempting price for me... But the question I don't know the answer to is: Will it fulfill my needs? Would I need the 400? I know you can overclock the 400 to 500mhz... Can you OC the 300 model?

How is the d-pad? I've read a review that said it's smooshy... Does it work well for gaming? Does it seem well built enough not to break quickly?

Will it run a snes emulator at full speed?

I read the other thread on this topic and someone said the small screen wasn't good for gaming... But the axim's screen is bigger than the gba's screen, it seems, so it should be fine, no?

Thanks for helping me decide on this purchase!
