This would be an idea. I need a mini monitor on my mac mini. I suppose one could hook up remote desktop type of software for the mac to the handheld, but how about we just bypass that and use the little lcd as a monitor.

has anyone tried using the lcd in this manner?
There is a cable mentioned on this site that will allow your unit to display onto a pc screen. I am unsure the other way around has been tried. I would do a search on this site for this and see what comes up.

No doubt, no way for video-in to Axim.
It is not an Axim limitation but a general limitation.
None of the Axim big brothers (laptop, notebook) has VGA-in or such (as far as I know )

I've thought that those little VGA screens could be useful displays for other devices, but alas, the handheld manufacturers seem to have overlooked that possibility.
(On a related note, I wonder if someone has the technical skills to re-wire a X50v/X51v LCD to act as a very small PC monitor. It would at least give me an excuse to sell the one that I have lying around with a torn cable.)
There is one way that might work.
If you have the mini mac setup to start up and connect to the internet automatically without the screen attached.
Then you could connect to the mac using the Axim via something like Logmein or a virtual server type program.
This would then allow you to control the mac with the Ax.
This looks promising, does any one have this? The web page says "Cradle up and go!" but also says this version has better support for Wi-Fi. I does not say specifically if this can go wireless. It would be cool if it could.
