Axim Add Ons

My husband has just ordered and Axim and I would like to get him some goodies to go with it for Valentines day. Of course I have waited till the last minute so I need guidence about things that I could possibly get at Best Buy, etc. I'm thinking maybe a car adapter, cool software, a leather case that will fit, stuff like that. Is their anything out there that I could buy tomorrow and wrap and not have to order? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Jane,

For software, check out Handango or PocketGear for good software. If you are on a broadband connection, you can purchase and download the software to the PC he's going to sync with, then you don't even have to wrap. Most PocketPC software is not shrinkwrapped, so this is your best bet.

As far as hardware, as stated earlier, you can't go wrong with a 256 MB CF or SD card. I would recommend the 256 MB SD card, and save the CF slot for something really good, like a wireless LAN card once he gets the ol' network up and running.

From a case perspective, I think you are a little more stuck, as most Axim cases are not available in stors. There are some universal cases that according to reports, will work with the Axim, such as this. Another thought....you could tell him that his gift is on the way, and order a case from Sena Cases or EB Cases.

The Pocket Solution also has some nice accessories that you would also have to wait for, but I bet he could wait a little while for them....heck, he waited this long for his Axim.....

Nice of you to think of getting such things for him. Hope you find something that fits your needs!
