Handheld Application - Need Solution

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

Many high end pda / cell phones that have entered the market allow you to
access the internet over a cell phone network. Most current ones on the
market run pocket pc 2003 so your application should work.

Alternativley, the cheaper way in some cases is to buy a GSM or GPRS network
card for your pda. This would be inserted into the compact flash slot and
will connect to your cell phone providers network.
I do know that the HP / Compaq Ipaq series dont use the compact flash method
but have a slip on cover that has the extra hardware built into the cover.
