I know it is not supported and I've read many times over that it can't be done, but someone out there must have figured out a way to sync their Axim wirelessly.

I have a PC at home and a PC at work, but only 1 cradle. Carrying it back and forth is a pain (although certainly an option).

Was hoping someone out there was smart enough to have an additional option.

Thanks!

Buy a travel sync cable. Belkin sells one on the Dell site. You might find it few bucks cheaper elsewhere. I have one and it works great. I do a fair amount of travelling, so it was a necessary evil.

 

I can sync wirelessly over bluetooth quite easily, but I'm guessing you mean over Wi-Fi? You could get a bluetooth dongle for one of the computers.

Blue Tooth syncing is great and you can get a decent BT dongle for around $20-$30. Well worth it IMO.

Do you have an x51v? And is that travel sync cable manufactured by Belkin?

No, I have an x50. I believe the cable was manufacturer by Belkin. I bought it from Dell last summer when I bought the X50. It was part of a kit that included a travel charger and cig lighter adapter. All work great. A quick look at the accessories page for the Axims, they are selling the sync cable separately for $15. The kit I bought is $35.

 

I want to be able to sync at work. I am in the US Military, and the goverment issue computers here won't allow me to sync via the travel cable. But when I am out of town (like I am now), it is often 2-3 weeks inbetween syncing with my home computer. I guess all I am after is updating my weather, and a few other things. How can I do this? Is there a way to do it strictly off my WiFi internet connection?

Bump! Bumpity Bump!

Microsoft deliberately stopped wifi syncing because of security issues.

Is there a way to force my apps to update when presented with a wifi connection?

If those apps can reach the Internet to do their thing, then maybe (examples include Pocket Outlook, weather apps), otherwise.. no.

 

What weather app are you using? I would imagine most give you the option to update either via ActiveSync or Wi-Fi. I use ABD Weather Plus and update that daily via Wi-Fi. I also update my RSS feeds daily via Wi-Fi.
