My daughter is 10 and she often watches movies on my Axim if we are on a long trip.

She has her own Palm Vx but she really wants me to get her a PPC. I've thought about getting her a 300MHz Axim, but more likely she will get this 400 MHz one when I get something new.

I got my old casio from my dad, and an old 3850, with a couple of my current accessories. I've bought the rest, but it's certainly nice to inherit all the old technology. I'm in high school, and yes I use it a lot. During the summer I barely use it once a day, but during the school year there's very heavy usage, and I always use WiFi for relaxin around the house or outside with my ppc's.

The other accessories just come from hard earned money that I blow on computer stuff.. I just love being in high school :mrgreen: :silly:

I just gave my 5 year old son my old 3650. I loaded it up with some games and cartoons and he's very happy. whenever we go to a store that has pda's he always asks for my stylus so he can play with the display pda's. He knows how to navigate very well(who said poceket pc's were hard). Then again he does have windows xp on his computer in his room and on his laptop. He also gets a kick out of scanning his finger on my ipaq(he's amazed that he can't get in but I can :wink: )

My 5 year old son absolutely LOVES to draw "freehand" using the Notes application. Just for fun, I sometimes turn on the Transcriber input to see if there are any hidden messages he's doodling....

If he really likes drawing (like my daughter does), get PaintWin CE (http://www.abisoft.spb.ru/products/cepaint.html). It's like Microsoft Paint, and it's free.

My son is 3, and he loves to color on mine. I found an app that is perfect, called KidColor. It takes over the rest of you pocket pc, so all they can do is color.
