No flames here! This is interesting because I have a 5 year old Dell
Axim which I still think is awesome. I use it for everything--GPS, car
audio, ebooks, Bible, games, web browsing, weather, notes, shopping
lists, reminders, and on and on. It scrobbles and even does last.fm
radio over wifi! With a 16 GB CF card, it holds all the music I need for
car and travel, but can be easily expanded with CF or SD storage if I
end up needing more. 

I do have SlimControl on there but don't use it often because I also
have a Controller. But I will fire it up occasionally for re-ordering a
playlist--something the Controller still can't do.

Still, I've been thinking of getting an iTouch, but waiting for next
generation announcements. In the back of my mind, I'm sure an iThing
can't be better than my Axim, but I am curious about it. If the new
models end up getting a camera, I will probably go for it. But I dread
the thought of having to use iTunes.

My only beef with my Axim now is that syncing is always a struggle. I
have to battle it about once a week to keep it syncing with Outlook.
Maybe that's a Vista issue, though.

Can anyone describe the Outlook sync situation with the iPhone/Touch?
Is it reliable, and is it 2-way?

I'm not interested in any device with a phone since I live in the
boonies and just use a cheapie prepaid cell for $10/mo.
