i havent heard anything...

that's what the X5 really needs, though. not two slots, but an SD slot and a USB host port. or at least that lousy host CF adapter needs to come down in price....by like 80%.

What's this about a USB adapter? Do they actually make something like a CF to USB adapter so you could use a large external USB/USB 2.0 drive or maybe a USB thumb drive with the Axim X5? If so, I'm all ears!!!

I found one here

Looks pretty interesting, but not for $140

I have tried the Ratco CF to USB, and returned it after trying everything. Previous posting on this site said it doesn't work, and I now concur.

What I use now is the CF to PCMCIA adapter, and a 5GB Toshiba 2.5 HD. The adapter was $35 when I bought it, and the HD was $155.00. For less than $200, my Axim 5 has a 5GB drive, holding 240+ MP3s, and the installation files of the programs on it. Save yourself some money!
