Seiko SmartPad II or Inklink Writing System

Hey Folks,

Needing some quick help. In CompUSA's Mem D Wkend Sale they listed the Seiko smartpad II or Inklink Writing System for 19.99.

So big question, are either of these compatible with an Ax x5 pc version 3.1.11171 build 11178?

I did a search for threads but they were old posts. What's oday's scoop on these, did anyone get them to work? If so, what does it take?
Thanks, (not wanting to waster time nor money)

Ink Link does not work to well with the Axim X5. This is due to the appalling performance of the X5 IR. Haven't tried Smartpad.

The Smartpad II works fairly well with my X5 running 2002. You won't be able to use the software in the Smartpad package.

After you register you can download InkNote Manager, which is their newer PPC software.

I just bought the Smart Pad 2 from Comp USA and it now supports ppc 2002 and 2003. The only drawback I see with it is that it was designed for Palm based units which at the time did not use replaceable/rechargeable batteries, just AAA or AA. The unit is mounted to the portfolio with stick on velcro pads. Nice accessory, but I don't really like stick on stuff on my Axim.
