I was thinking also that I would probably only use this unit for a couple of years and probably get a better one with integrated bluetooth and wi-fi, hopefully a thinner model too. If you don't use your ppc for games or watching videos, you shoulda stuck with the basic system as it is very sufficient for most things.
Similar situation here. My Axim is not even used for PDA functions. For these I'm still using Palm Vx due to sufficient (some still better) PDA functions and simller size and weight.

I expect my Axim to be continously used at home as a toy and a wireless Internet browing/searching tool. I do have some video playback issues (not always smooth) but not sure if it's CPU or memory related. Maybe the new PPC2003 will work better, if I can get free upgrade for my two-week-old Basic?

Really! Are you sure that PPC 2003 can't support VGA?
