I got the 4GB, 150X RiData SD card, after tracing it through the post
office because a PO Box number is higher than the postal employees can
count. I simply installed it and it's working great without formatting,
etc.

At the moment, I'm trying to copy a 733MB DivX movie from my WinXP Pro
box to a MOVIES directory on the card via the Dell USB/docking charger
using ActiveSync's Pocket Explorer.

Now, I copy huge files all the time to cheap USB 2 hard drives that turn
just a little faster than a 78 RPM record and that's quite fast. THIS
copy to a 150X SD card, while progressing, appears that it will be next
wednesday before it copies to the new 4GB SD card.....incredibly
SLOW...zzzzzZZZZZZ

Is there some special hack or expensive 3rd party software suite I'm
going to have to buy or hack to copy 733MB to a 4GB SD card in a brand
new Dell Axim X51v under WM5.1? The blue bars on "Copy & Convert to
mobile device" seem to have stuck on 2, then go back to nothing, then go
back out to two bars. It's been 20 minutes, already, with no end in
sight!

I copied some jpgs from the PDA RAM to the SD card and moved all the MP3
files off the RAM to the SD card. That seemed to go quite well and the
pictures and MP3s played just fine in TCPMP direct from the card, so I
assume it's working fine.

Is there some file length limit that crashes it? There's no error
windows popping up on either the XP box or the WM5 box.....

I just looked at the file in the MOVIES directory of the SD card and it
says 64K file length and doesn't change. Is 64K the limit??

You'll need/want to get a usb 2.0 SD card reader, one that actually works
with 4 GB SD cards not all do by the way.

The reason it is so slow is that even though the docking station is USB it
actually communicates at serial speeds, backwards compatibility gone too
far.

You can sync ---whoops --- USED TO be able to sync over wi-fi much faster.
For those that realise that newest isn't always best will be doing it that
way for a fair while to come. Other than the x51v they haven't made anything
faster or better yet.

It's still suckin' on the Gateway T6520 teat. All 4GB show up. I have 3
movies and a documentary on it, now, so will try to watch them on the Axim.

Sorry to bother you, I was just amazed I couldn't send a movie over the
USB2.0 cable through the cradle.

Does this have something to do with the nebulous "conversion" the PPC
Explorer seems hell bent on running every time it moves a file? It looked
like it was inspecting the whole 733MB movie file to see what to convert it
to. Is there a way to turn that off?

Well I guess I could be mistaken, but I believe that USB 2.0 cable is
connected to a USB 1.0 device. As far as I know all Pocket PC are still in
the 1.0 world. A quick look at dell site, and I see dell does not talk about
USB at all, rather preferring to call it a 36-pin Cradle/Sync Connector
http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/axim_x51v?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&~tab=specstab
Have you clicked on help on ActiveSync on your PC? There are lots of
different ActiveSync versions that people are using now. I believe that if
you enter conversion, and do a search you'll find what you are looking for.

Disagreed. Serial speeds go up to 112 kbps; BT 1.1 in practice, in current
PDA's, goes as high as 300-500 kbytes/s - that is, more than an order of
magnitude faster. An eample of a very (at least compared to the alternates)
fast USB 1.1 device is the Dell Axim x51v. (Also see my USB speed benchmarks
if intrested - I've publishe d alot of them.)

Furthermore, there are Pocket PC's with USB 2.0 hi-speed support; for
example, the HP iPAQ hx4700. Their speed advantage over similar year 2004
devices is, however, only some 40% (and can't still really be compared to
the x51v).

Usually between PocketPC and Sd Card (in the Pocket PC) communaction
slow to copy big files.

Use card reader, i make that , and use card read and 1 GB Sd Card like
pendrive :)

After two years working for the Iranian Air Force, I decided to leave 28
days before the Shahanshah did. I'd like, some day if the rest of the
world doesn't hate us like they do, to go back to Tehran. Iran is a HUGE,
beautiful, mostly uninhabited country sitting on some of the richest virgin
land on the planet....if you can figure out how to get there...(c;

I still don't think Iranians hate Americans. They sure didn't me. They
hate my Israeli government in Washington, for sure. I would too if they
pointed their Israeli weapons at me!

Having worked with the Iranian technicrat class for two years, the only
people threatened by any nuclear weapons they develop are the Iranians
around the facilities.....They should be VERY afraid!

Tonight, while sitting in a wifi restaurant, I was talking on Skype with a
friend in NY, while watching a full-speed Divx movie from the 4GB RiData
X150 SD card with TCPMP. Neither Skype or TCPMP missed a bit, or balked at
all, for the whole call! TCPMP was in full screen, sideways mode, too,
that's gotta take some processing. The X51v, in that respect, is simply
amazing....(c;

Thank you, David. I gave up and moved the SD plug to the computer. There
seems to be some limit to how many megabytes it will move over the cable to
the SD card in the Axim. 10MB MP3s move fine. 80MB files move. Somewhere
over 100MB, it croaks, loading the same part of the file over and over, ad
nauseum. The big files play fine with TCPMP, so I'm happy.

I was kind of sorry I posted so quick when it croaked....sorry to waste
your time.

Excellent software and excellent review, Laura.

The big lag must be Activesync trying to convert everything to be used by
Micro$oft's products, not simply copying the files as users want.
Obviously, we're not as stupid as they think we are.

There should be a button to simply put Activesync in DO NOT CONVERT OR
CHECK FOR CONVERSIONS mode. I don't see one.

Larry...thanks.
