Recycling 2 Axim X51V

After purchasing a Sony-Ericsson Xperia my Axims started to lay around unused. Too bad...
Well, what to do with 2 old Axim X51Vs?
One Axim is now dedicated for GPS apps. in my car.
The other Axim is serving as a "MediaPlayer", with a 250GB USB hard drive, a Solar Express USB host card, a VGA-cable to 37" LCD, 3,5 mm to RCA sound cable, and a BT keyboard and mouse.
It works amazingly well, almost DVD quality!

I'll take the one you're not using. You could always use the xperia as a phone and media player.

Sorry. Both Axims are still in use :). And no VGA/TV-out on Xperia :(
