Has anyone found out information on the presentation bundle for the X50v? I was really hoping a vga-out would have been part of the X50v as I hate packing cables.

The killer app for me would be able to attend meetings and do presentations without dragging my notebook.

At this point I don't see enough value for $$$ to upgrade from my X30h.

looking for this option too

not avalaibale on dell.fr either

What do you want to know? It can be ordered from Dell here.

Palm III -> Palm IIIe -> iPaq H3650 -> Palm m500 -> x50 -> x50v

Get it from ebay, longer cable. You don't want to be stuck near the projector.

Or Boxwave...Ouch! kinda expensive.!

I'm using Dell's presentation bundle, I know it's kinda short...'bout 15 cm, but I use the original RGB cable that comes with the projector since it have a male connector to be connected to the Dell VGA cable. Now I don't have to stay near the projector and it's cheap compare to buying a boxwave cable.

Other problem is; anyone knows any presentation remote (IR or BT) that works with Axim? it's a bit discomforting having to do presentation with axim on your hand with the cable to the projector.

Hi... I'm looking at this Presentation Pack Vga out usb Cable

It is good?

The cable works fine, but the adapters are a little underpowered. I made a complaint and the seller very generously replaced them, but even the replacements offered only 800ma and 1000ma, both of which are insufficient to power an x50v/x51v with an extended battery or with wireless on, or with a very low battery.

Also important to consider is that if you also use this as your primary sync/charge cable, you will have the vga cord hanging there whether you like it or not. Other options let you only connect what you need, which I imagine would be convenient.

To answer Vennstrom's Q about remotes:
1. I use a Bluetooth keyboard (Think Outside) which works great

2. I bought Conduit's PocketSlides to create slideshows on my Axim (I don't use it much, but it's very helpful when I do). If using this package, it has an option to use the IR port on the Axim so that when it receives ANY IR signal it advances the slide. I just bring along an old remote control from a TV, press any button, and the slides advance. It actually works quite well. Having said that, I tend to use the ClearVue suite (which came with the presentation bundle I bought from Dell) more (with the keyboard mentioned in 1. above) just because it's simpler for me.

Thanx jmcphie ...

So which cable do you guys recommend (work nice / good price) for:

VGA connection
usb sync

Thank you...

I cite a review of Conduit's PocketSlides
CONS
Requires additional hardware for projector display
Uses quite a bit of storage space and program memory

What hardware?

Dell Axim X5, PPC 2003 OS, SD 512M, CF 512M, Garmin PC 18 (via COM port), Mapopolis
