FireWire
A quick (and perhaps silly) question: is it possible to use a FireWire cable to connect between my X50 and my iMac? The iMac has the capability, but what about the X50? Yesterday I copied an MP3 file from my computer to my X50 and it took forever.

Thanks
Dan

Nope, sorry. No Firewire on the X50.

Well that's a bummer! Any thoughts on how to speed up the transfer of MP3 files using USB 2.0 cables?

Nope.

Consider using Wifi or using a card reader.

Unfortunately, I don't have Wifi capability on my Axim, but there's always the card reader.

Thanks

maybe it is just me but transfering large files via activesync on the x51 is alot quicker than on my x5. i transfered a 11meg cab file in about 5 seconds.

yes... with WM5 and the new active sync, transfer speeds are faster.
