Update: I was able to turn the unit on today after it was suspended in the cradle overnight, but it would not sync with ActiveSync. I am now rebooting everything to see if I can get it to sync again. The rebooted Dell Axim paused at aroun 80% on the progress meter but did continue after that, and now appears to be stuck showing a reminder from my calendar over the splash screen, blinking the power light about once per second, and not responding to the touch screen... OK, I waited over 5 minutes, so I'm pretty sure it is not going to finish booting, lets try a soft reset again... well I'm back to the reminder again, but this time there is a non-animating wait cursor in the middle of the screen... maybe another soft reset will do it, after all, third time's the charm... nope, this time it stopped at a full progress meter. Time to pop the battery out. Same memory error as before... and I'm stuck looking at a calendar reminder again with no way to dismiss it (touch screen is not responding) and it doesn't seem to be booting past that.

This is weak. I expect better than this from Dell.
