Unique feature!!!

I just noticed that one of the popular cases for the Axim now has a slot where you insert an included MIRROR. Now I thought that was both insightful and unique.

Now I won't have to download, install and constantly run one of the hundreds (thousands?) of mirror programs available all over the net.

:p

Look straight into your axims screen... what do you see? exactly ;)

Can I ask who has used their Axim as a mirror? I have never thought of doing that?

Actually, it's kind of a funny joke. I was never even aware of such a thing until I began searching to buy a PDA. I went to download sites and found dozens of listings for "mirror" programs.

What they do is completely black out the screen while the system is on (the equivalent of when the Axim is turned off). The complement of these are "flashlight" programs, which light up the entire screen (which works with backlight systems but I'm not sure it works with an Axim... haven't tried it yet). Whatever... pretty expensive mirror or flashlight, dontcha think? But then, if you've ever needed a mirror or flashlight and didn't have one handy... (who carries around such things?) then the PDA that we do carry around can come in handy. So it's not so silly as it appears at first glance. But there are bigagillions of these programs out there.

Anyway, these are extremely simple-to-write programs, thus the proliferation. It just made me chuckle when I noticed that a case company was actually including a real mirror in their case.

It's Sena who includes the mirror, and it's more for protection than appearance. It is a stiff acrylic mirror that ends up in front of the screen when the case is closed. If you want to carry credit cards, you remove the mirror and the cards provide the protection.

My wife thinks the mirror is for "cosmetic" purposes (lipstick, a quick look, etc.,etc.). If I tell her it is really for protecting the AX she will laugh at me!:p
