I have the Dell Axim X51V and use bluetooth to push files to it. I got it
because there was a group trying to hack linux onto it, but they gave up.
Could not figure out all the hardware and Dell was absolutely no help. I
have the bluetooth gps navigation system and it is fantastic. I have to
make new maps when we go someplace new (Windows only) thus needing to boot
windows a couple times a year. I would love to sync it with kontact or
evolution but Windows Mobile 2005 does not work yet (that I know of).

More research has indicated that booting a windows usb drive is ont possible
because windows reloads the usb stack during boot and would lose contact
with the drive. I need to buy another drive for windows. But the usb drive
is fantastic for backups.

Thanks guys and dolls.
