I just ordered the Axim on line and what is the difference between SD and compact flash? Which one will be better for MP3 playback? Any help and this newbie will appreciate it.

Either media type is fine for MP3 playback. I suggest spending a little more for SD memory so you can save your CF slot for modem, networking, presentation, camera, etc.

Well CF comes in Type I and Type II both of which the Axim supports, CF si usually cheaper and bigger. SD is very small adn thin and more expensive, however many ppl do what I did and ge a small SD card to put in and leave in the axim and install *all* my apps into it so that I can have my CF slot avaliable for CF cards (I usually save this for all my media), CF accessories, like wireless cards, etc. I'd reccommend a SD card of at least 128 MB. I've never noticed a difference in quality or speed of playback of media from the SD or CF.

I leave the built-in memory as empty as possible so that the Axim can use it for running apps and things like that.

You can get a large CF cards for cheap online I got a 256 MB CF card on ebay for like 35 bucks, and if you plan on putting alot of mp3s and media like video clips on the Axim I reccommend a CF card thats at least 256 MB.

Too many choices, I will have to wait, my unit is not shipping until 2/27/03. Dell had a sale that ended today online for $314.00 THanks NMkiD for your input as well.
