I just picked up an Axim x30 with Active Sync 3.7.1. Will the x30 work with 3.8? Is it worth upgrading? What are the Key benefits of 3.8 over 3.7.1?

I'd go with 3.8. Mainly just a bunch of bug fixes.

Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.

   

I have an x50v and after I upgraded to 3.8 I had alot of problems syncing. Finally went back to 3.7 and things are working fine. The one difference I noticed was the 3.7 syncs the x50's time to the internet time while 3.8 did not have that option, it may not be a big issue but I liked that feature.

Like 3,7 (and 3.6 before it), 3.8 does have the option to sync the time with your PC. As long as the PC is syncing to the Internet (a default in WinXP), then the PPC will also be synced to it.

The biggest improvement in 3.8 is how it handles unresolved items in the calendar.
