The question I am grappling with is : Is there a USB Copmpact flash adapter? I want to have USB ports on my axim for a few reasons, but at the forefront is that I've had particulrly good luck with my Sprint PCS phone as an internet connection, and would like to connect it to my axim for the same reason. Sprint, although they have tried to shy away from this, was advertising (it's in the manual) that the pcs connector cable was ideal for connecting to PDA's.

So here are my questions:

1. Is there a USB adapter for the AXim.
2. Does anyone know if the PCS Connection manager is available for Pocket PC?
3. Has anyone had any experience with any of the compactflash- PCMCIA adapters to put a USB or ethernet pcmcia card on The Axim? (Since I got my axim, I haven't even turned on my laptop, and already have the Cards)

Thanks.

USB is a host/device interface. A host can talk to a device. Hosts cannot talk to each other. Devices cannot talk to each other. The Axim and the cell phone are both devices. A CF card with a USB interface would have to include a processor with all the programming necessary to be a host. You may be able to connect with a serial cable. There are a lot of other posts on this topic.
