While at work, I don't have a connection from my pc to my Axim. x51v.
I would like download a program onto and SD card and then insert the card into my Axim. Then install the file from the SD to the Axim. Is this possible?
I would assume as long as I use cab files, it should be ok.

Any one have experience with this?
Or do I have to have the cradle or a cable to connect the Axim to the pc?

Thanks

You dont have to have the cradle. You can use cab files, but i would suggest using cabinstl , b/c it has more features when installing from cab files.

You could use a card reader at work and download cabs onto the sd card, then put the sd card in the axim, and you can install apps.

So.. I've got Activesync 4.1 installed and search for the cab files on the pc.

Besides in
\program files\Microsoft Activesync
and
\program files\[App/Company name]
some .cabs end up in
\documents and settings\Your_User_Name\Local Settings\Temp
Like I stated in the linked post: Works fine.

True, and some are on http://www.freecabs.de so you dont have to do all the "work"
