hi,

i have the x5 and just ordered the x3 (should receive it these few days). i am wondering if i can just connect both to my computer and they will sync automatically? or is there anything that i need to do before connecting my second axim.

thanks,

As long as each have a different ID then all should be OK.

You mean if I buy my wife an axim, then we can both sync on the same PC and the PC will know which info goes to which axim?

I think if you wanted to sync different info to different axims, you would have to set up separate profiles first.

Save yourself some time. That KB article explains how to do all of that. My family syncs 4 different PPCs with separate Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, etc.

activesync will look at each ppc as a separate device with its own syncing options just set the options the same and the same things will be synced

What if you synch the same Axim to two PCs? Anyone know how to get the inboxes to synch? Right now I can't get either inbox from Outlook.

That article addresses what if you have two PPC users on one Desktop. My question is what if you have two desktops that you synch the same Axim on? Thanks for the help though. That's why I love this site.
