Hi

I often have to use public and uni computers and cant install any
software. My question is is there a way to connect my ipaq3950, so I
can update my avango subs without this aoftware?

Thanks

Jamie

Jamie,

I replied to your post on the PocketPC Magzine forums as well on this.

You will have to have some type of sync software installed in order to
establish the connection to Avantgo. There may be a way around this via a
wifi card installed on your ipaq directly but since I don't use Avantgo, I'm
not sure if that is possible.

Regards,

One low probability possibility for a public PC: If it has Bluetooth
(unlikely) AND configured for Internet sharing, you could use the
Avantgo tools/sync-with-server option to sync without an ActiveSync
connection.

However, your best bet is to buy a WiFi card and look for open WiFi
hotspots.

The latest version of Avantgo works great on any wireless connection that
lets you browse the web. I'm currently syncing Avantgo in the background
while posting this on a public wifi connection with my iPaq 3955. Avantgo
also updates individual pages without having to sync all.
