I have the Belkin Sync & charge cable (including car adapter) from Dell. I find that it is not reliable to charge the Axim using standard USB port.
When I plug it to my Dell Dimension 2400, the Axim x51v become brighter (like put in the cradle for charging) and than dimmer every second. It seem that the USB port does not provide enough power to charge the Axim.
I also try this on my friend's Athlon 64 machine that is using Asus motherbroad. The Axim do not charge at all but can be sync.
The only time it can charge and sync is from a Tosibla Centrino laptop.

If it is the computer USB port do not provide enough power, the only solution is using a powered USB hub.
