I use mine mostly as a notebook/diary and ebook reader.

I'll take it out and use it to remind me what flight I'm getting, who I'm meeting, where I'm staying, etc. or read ebooks / TomTom navigation while en-route (depending on mode of travel).

Occasionally I may use it to stream radio broadcasts or skype.

I don't use it to surf the web or email as the UI isn't useable in my opinion - the on screen keyboard is too fiddly and the screen is too small to browse sites. Not enough sites display properly in PIE either, so it's a bit of a non-starter there. I prefer to wait until I'm back at a big screen to do either of those.

Just back from Iraq as a Contractor. :hide: My 51V was completely indispensible. Notes, Contacts, MS Excel and MS word, the works. I was able to do a lot of my work, while flying from one location to another, consolidate data and prepare reports, which I could upload, fine tune and send back stateside. Got it just before I left, now there are so many contacts that I have to filter them. I had to buy two extra 1 gig SD cards just to keep up with everything that I needed to carry. There was no WIFI capability in country, so I had to depend on syncing or beaming files between my Axim and any computer. Being able to do a report, beam it to ANY computer, then send it, definitely paid for the device. :approve: Add to it the Windows Media player for music and MS Reader for books, the only thing I had to make sure of was that I had access to a power supply to re-charge the unit. Now that I am back, I purchased a GPS unit for when I travel. Definitely a major improvement and time saving device. The entertainment factor is just icing on the cake.
