Hey...I just wanted to share how I use my x50v in the place of a laptop...It does everything I need it to do when I'm away from home...
-This is how my Axim looks when it starts up...It's done through a virtual page on Wisbar Advance Desktop
-This is my "desktop"...
-yes...the bottom start button is functional(it opens the cascading start menu)...again through the magic of Wisbar Advance and Wisbar Advance Desktop...

-AIM 2.0...I use my PDA in true-VGA mode
-Coreplayer...I use either this or TCPMP to play all my media files...

-Textmaker 2006...It's still in Beta...and you can download the trial from their website...Must have for anyone who does word processing on their PDA
-Pocket SNES...i've also got Pocket GBA and PicoDrive(Genesis emulator)...along with many other PPC games (Including Quake)...

-Netfront 3.3 with the user agent set to IE 6.0...works like a charm
-Resco File Explorer...
-MY mobile "Media Center"...(using Mortbuttons)
-Resco Photo Viewer...
-Pocket Artist...great for editing photos too!
-my "Control Panel"...it's a part of Wisbar Advance

-That's a palmone universal IR keyboard...great for typing on your lap too...the batteries last like forever...i've been using it for like 4 months...and i havent had to change the batteries yet

-Who needs a laptop?...I can fit this in my pocket...
well anyway...that's just my way of not having to lug a laptop around everywhere...tell me what you think...
