I also have the extended battery to use so I'm not sure if battery life is a problem. I usually don't mow more than 4 hours at a time. I was thinking of a 2GB SD card which I found for $145.00 to store all my music on but I see you guys are mentioning CF. Is CF faster than SD?
Then, I will have to find a secure case to put it on and attach it to my belt loop or if it isn't too heavy, to an arm band pouch.
Then this isn't a biggie but would be very nice if there was some way to send the signal to my car stereo and home stereo. I'm assuming you have to have a radio program on the X50v in order to be able to send a signal. Has anyone done this? Is the sound quality any good?
Thanks again for all your help. I really appreciate it.

Battery life should be just fine for music. I've gone for 3 hours without dipping below 60%. As long as your screen goes dark (and you leave it that way), it should be OK.
There are lots of cases, but I'd suggest looking at Rhinoskin or one of the clear (frosted) acrylic cases.
There are many ways of getting your signal to a stereo, and sound quality is fantastic :) My wife picked up an FM transmitter as a gift from Radio Shack ... (12-2054 appears to be the model number). It comes with a car chager AND can run on two AAA batteries (so you aren't required to use it in the car). The only caution I'll throw out is to make sure you don't charge both your Axim AND the FM transmitter (at the same time, off one cigarette lighter). I tried it and picked up a nasty power feedback squeal (high-pitched), as well as some engine noise. Pulling the Axim off the charger did the trick (there's probably a few electronics people laughing at me now
). I drive an hour to work every day (and an hour home), so this little guy allows me to listen to podcasts in my car.
