Product Description
The Xircom Rex 5001 is a credit-card-size personal assistant that readily plugs into your PC's card slot or the serial port or REX docking station to share data and quickly synchronize information. The highly readable nine-line LCD screen and intuitive six-button interface let you add, view, and manage information on the road and in the office. The system allows easy review and access to contacts with names, numbers, and addresses, and allows you to organize your time and keep track of appointments and task lists anywhere you travel.
The Rex 5001 runs for up to six months without needing fresh batteries or a recharge (it requires two CR2025 lithium batteries). The clock provides the correct time, no matter where you are in the world, and has an alarm to keep you on schedule. Although the Xircom REX 5001 does not require a PC, you'll want to network to capitalize on every benefit this organizer has to offer. Share your notes from the road with your desktop or notebook. The calendar tracks daily, weekly, and monthly data at a glance. Personal memos, notes, and much more information are all a touch away.
Xircom offers a one-year limited warranty on parts and labor.

Unique and unbeatable convenience
I remember buying a Psion palm computer, and then an Ipaq Pocket PC to use as an organizer.But for ease and convenience, absolutely nothing beats the Rex.I mainly use as a little phone book, which I find myself in need a lot.Rather than bungling through my bag and looking for the Pocket PC, I just whip out the Rex and have the desired phone number in 1 minute.I put the Rex in my front pocket of my pants, which may not be the best.However, my pants aren't that tight that it would be a big problem...

Phone book, Calendar & To-Do list
This is the greatest solution to carrying around a Phonebook, Calendar and & To-Do list I have ever seen!Notebooks are just to large, cumbersome and take too long to boot up.And compared to the REX, PDA's have the same handicaps.I understand you can do much more with a PDA but if Phone, Calendar and To-Do are what you want to do, this is it.I fold my money around my Rex and keep it in my front pocket.Intel has decided to drop the product line. The form/factor is exceptional.This is a very, very...

correction
shangs75 wrote that the rex 5000 doesn't take addresses. It does. The box and website is missleading too bacause all you see is a name and a phone number, but actually there is a lot more that you can't see. This is my first day with it so disregard my rating. lh...

Not compatible or defective?
I could NEVER synchronize this thing with the PC.I use a Dell Optiplex GX1 with Windows NT 4.0, and it has Lotus Notes for e-mail and PIM. (Not my choice, its corporate software.)Finding and downloading the "driver" or "module" for Notes required a detective's investigation in their website, and their TrueSync software could not even synchronize with their own TrueSync PIM.When the Rex was finishing the sync, I always got an error message in Windows, regardless if I tried to sync with Notes or the...

Good value for money
I have recently purchased both the 5001 and the 6000 series REX, and found the 5001 to be more flexible in its synching options, and less delicate.I use my REX primarily as an address book, to do list and notes. Input is not a big issue for me, nor is Web content downloads.The 5001 uses the Starfish TrueSync technology to synch with any number of devices, including cell phones, Yahoo and Palm Desktop. I actually synch mine with both Palm Desktop and Yahoo simultaneously so that I have access to...
