Kodo typing from his new AXIM

this thing completey rocks. It takes a while to get used to but it's quite slick, especially in landscape mode. The "itelli-spell" definitely helps with the speed of writing a post but I certainly wouldn't want to di it all day long. lol

Now lets see what cool programs there are out there !!!!!

Man, I wish I could record my voice right now cuz typing..

"frickin jackpot"

just didn't truly capture my devilish excitement when I saw the link and went to the site

Thanks!

 

Well, you must be feeling better.

Steve

 

Electronic computer devices always make me feel better

 

Hey glad to see you are up and at em'
bet your wife is thinkin " boys & their toys"

 

I got her one too I'm evil like that..
She's all like "I don't need a new one.. "
I showed it to her and now she's like 'Wow, that would be cool to be able to get my email over wi-fi".. tune changed in about 30 seconds

 

Glad to see you up and playing with your new toy!

 

I've said it before, but I'll say it again,,,
you are wise beyond your years my friend

10 or so years ago, my wife wanted a car for her birthday, so I bought her a 69 SS ElCamino heheeeehhhee

 

Show off

Some of us are having to use a cell phone to access the web right now. But my PC arrived in Oregon OK so that's good to know

 

Although puny in comparison, I still love my P910

 

I VOTE OVERCLOCK!!!
lol, that thing is faster than my laptop

 

Told you it would be a good buy.

 

The moment I saw it on Dell's site (after your suggestion) , I was all "Oooh and Ahhh" ...
Thanks for the hookup!

 

Congrats - I recommend the following geek activities:

convert movies to play on your pda
use your Ax as a universal remote control
find every wireless hotspot in town.

 

Please expand on suggestion #2 please. Provide links to software (preferably free as I dropped the entire wad on both pda's) that will allow me to do this

 

Aximsite.com has a section for new PDA owners. You download software that uses your IR port to emulate a remote control. Some models work better than others due to the power output of their IR.

 

They merged and moved threads around, but see 'Wacky uses for Axims' thread:

Checking the thread now

 

I have the Axim X30 High and I love it. I use it all the time. Aximsite is what lead me to purchase the Dell, it rocks. Congratulations on your wise decision!

 

I got my wife the X30 Mid .. she hasn't really had the chance to get into it much, but she liked it compared to her casio..lol.. BIG difference!

 

VNC on the axim, thats awesome!

I checked that out last night..
I also like the terminal client that works wonderfully with my win2k/2003/ servers and my xp box
Put it in landscape mode and it was much easier to get around. Not something that I see as truly practical, but useful if in a jam.

 

I've always been interested in using the Ax to VNC into the home network and change lights and cameras via x10. Mess with the kids and wife while at work.....heh.

 

Hey Kodo,

I just ordered my X50v a couple of days ago, so hopefully it'll be here any day. I got the deal which includes an extra 1100 ma battery, cradle and two year warrenty. Plus they threw in a MS 5.0 upgrade

Anyway, couple of questions...

Do you have a GPS unit for yours? I definitley plan on getting one, but there are so many, and so many different types- BT, CF, serial, etc.

Also, did yours come with a SD or CF card?

How do you find the 1100 battery? Is it worth getting the 2200? I've heard that with the 2200, it won't fit in most cases.

I've checked out Aximsite, there is a TON of info, but it's all sort of random. So what tips can you give an Axim newb? And how about HACKS?!?!?



Thanks,

-Steve

 

Have a look at www.pdawin.com.

At first glance, it looks like quite an amatuer site, but the remote control software is excellent. It can use CCF files, so you can build your own menus for your IR equipment. I changed mine so that the volume buttons always control the amp, doesn't matter whether I'm watching a video or DVD.

CCF files do take some work, but well worth it when it's done. I'll try and post some of my screenshots when I get home.

Another thing I use mine for is Skype, combined with the Wi-Fi, works perfectly.

Have fun with it.

PS - Did you know that UFO - Enemy Unknown is available for PPC in it's full version
