If your thinking about maybe getting a CF card for expansion, check out the Hitachi (formerly IBM) MicroDrives. They are hardrives that are the size of your standard CF card and go into just about all CF card slots. Not to mention you can get the 4gb model for $151.25 USD from newegg.com.

Theres a 2gb model, which is about $50 less.

I just wish my Axim x30 had a CF slot, so that I could use these!
Flash memory has come down to almost the same price as Microdrives. But Flash memory isat least 10 times faster while using 10 times as little power.

We tried a Microdrive in the Axim x50v and it got really crappy battery life.
