I can confirm it does work with WM5 & ActiveSync 4.1. Time will tell whether it puts my Axim into an uncontrollable spin :rolling:
The display quality is significantly worse than on the Axim (X50v) itself, and the display appears slightly smaller. Using the zoom (2x or 3x) only makes things worse. It's also quite slow.
So in summary it is a great way to enter large amounts of data or to copy data from it to the PC via the clipboard, but have the Axim in a handy location if you want to actually read the text :)
Thanks pfrank for the pointer.
I also tried Pocket Controller Professional (suggested by Riker) back in the WM2003SE days. This was a while ago, but my recollection was the display quality was better. However I couldn't see spending that kind of money for the kind of occasional use I would put it to, so I didn't re-try it on WM5.
