This is a very important note:

The device tested with the Bluetooth Gamepad was an Axim x50v, and it DID NOT fit into the gamepad.
But it's still compatible.

How close was the fit with the X50V, I see with the images that the rubber feet on the gamepad are pretty big, would any "adjustment" of these pads allow the X50V to fit?

Overall it's a well written review, I'm disappointed that the X50V won't fit with the gamepad but I like the fact that there are 10000+1 different uses for this device.

I can see myself using my X50 and headphones while the X50 is in the backpack and using the gamepad to change audio track and volume without having to remove the X50 from the backpack.

It would need about a CM more space for the x50 to fit. Ill try and take some pics and show ya.

That is kind of dissapointing

Wow that's too bad, if only they had made it just slightly longer.

Anyway, thanks for the updated photo, it was very difficult to tell previously how much space was required for the PDA to fit.
