Red face Axim X5 have it for years never upgraded anything

Hey Y'all -
Just found this site - been a mushroom for 4 years or so now.
Just starting to use it other than contact crm device.
Have original , 400mhz,ROM AO2, 2002 pocket pc, even active sync is 3.2 or something version.

What if any upgrading should I attempt?
I just loaded a movie viewer - TCPMP - nice I like it... good quality for flee!
Have downloaded 2003 but fraid to install it?
Considering wi-fi - what is the best? Do I need other upgrading first?
Considering GPS too - recommendations? sytem upgrading needed?
I want to be able to show MS PPT's on it too - what's required.

What other ideas to utilize this device to it's fullest?

Thanks for your consideration and guidance.

Melchor

Mobipocket Pro is the best ebook reader. :P The office companion available for it can be very useful.

I have an ambicom compactflash bluetooth card and the dell 802.11b card for wifi. Both work fine.

I had bought Pocket Map Navigator from pocket map and I was constantly struggling with it. My mom got a new axim with the Navteq gps software, and, since she wasn't using it, I swiped it. That software is great! Way better in my opinion. I use it with a holux bluetooth receiver. Not sure but what I might have liked a sleeve better - the receiver slides around on the dash and can be a pain to pair up sometimes.

Divx has a conversion option to compress avi files for handheld devices - think it's $10-20 can't remember. Put those on a 2 gig cf card & I can play videos in the car using the core tcpmp media player from www.tcpmp.com - piping the sound thru an fm tuner that plugs into the headset jack.

There's a browser program that helps make the internet a little more friendly, although not much. I've only tried PIEPlus - dunno if there are others out there or not.

I use a program called MemMaid to free space - especially browser cache, etc.

Oh, and Microsoft Money INCLUDES the pocket pc version - unlike Quicken where you have to buy the ppc software separate.

What else are you wanting to do with it?
