I agree with brywebster that surfing the web while the Axim is in the cradle is a pretty unsatisfying experience but I thought I would point out an alternative scenario that may work for you. If your company is running a wireless network, you could get a WiFi CF card for your Axim and make a direct connection to the network (rather than a pass-through using the cradle). In this way, you can send email directly from the Axim (without waiting for an opportunity to sync) and also could surf the web when you are away from your desk (still, not too satisfying but would allow you to check facts during a meeting or something like that. Note: WM03 is supposed to improve the Pocket IE functioning so maybe this will be more useful in the near future.)

One additional point, even if your company does not use WiFi, you can do all the above with a Network (Ethernet) CF card – you’d just still need to be close enough to a LAN port to plug in.
