How do I read Hotmail
If you try to go directly to hotmail, you will not be able to see anything.
However, it you click on MSN Mobile, it can bring you right to your hotmail
acct.
What do I need to know about the Pocket Internet Explorer
There is no support for Java at all in PocketIE, even if you
have Java software on the Axim. You can tweak the settings so that text
is smaller on web pages, or tell your Axim, not to load graphics to speed
things up. It is quite different than the IE on your computer.
How can I make the Switcher Bar turn on when the system powers
up
One of the best things about the Axim is the Switcher Bar that lets you
switch between open applications and close (for real) applications. Unfortunately
it has to be relaunched every time you boot your PPC. It can be added
to the StartUp folder. Go to My Device/Windows and find the file named
Switcher. You can do this quickly by typing 'sw' once you are in the Windows
folder. Tap and hold on the file and choose copy. Then browse to My Device/Windows/StartUp
and paste the file there.
