Whats the Biggest CF U can Use?
Hey All U Axim experts out there!

I am awaiting delivery of my new Axim X5 wireless and was wondering what's the biggest CF card the Axim will accept.

Is there a limit on the size of CF card, or can I simply buy the biggest I can afford?

I have bought 256 SD card so I can use it at the same time as the wireless CF card, but I am looking for a big card to accept MP3s and MPEGs whilst on the move.



Live long and Prosper

I have heard of no issues with any size CF card, currently on the market, with the X5. 2.2GB microdrives are available right now, and 4GB cards are scheduled to come out late this year or early next year.

The real limit you need to think about is not for the CF card size, but the size of your wallet.

Thanks Guys

Guess that pretty much answers my questions!

Yeah, they are super expensive. There is a 4.8GB version of the drive I am currently using coming out later this year for under $500. If you ask me, microdrives are the way to go.
