» ssingh - Glossary
Hello,I think a glossary is a great idea. We don't have a glossary function, but you could, as you mentioned, write a "glossary-like" article. You could then link to its URL as a bulletin or as one of your BOW sites so that people will always see a link to it on your Topic page.

» poncacity - Question on Wireless Internet
I have just recently bought an Everex Freestyle Palm Size PC. Gave $175 for it, because it was the cheapest way I knew of to find out what the Windows CE OS was like. And “I don't have a computer”. I have WebTV, which doesn't have anyway for me to synchronize my Palm Size PC.......My question is this: If I buy the $199 Modem Card that fits the EverEverex Palm Size PC, will I be able to, NOT ONLY connect to the Internet with just Palm PC & Modem Card, but will I be STILL have to find a PC to “synch” with, in order to download all the various games and applications that are available for WinCE devices on the web?.........
ALSO: If not, then WHAT is the advantage of installing the Modem Card?.....
The reason I am posting this question HERE, is because I am assuming that Wireless Internet Devices include Palm Size PCs, as well as Cell Phones and Pagers......
Any enlightenment will be appreciated!

» wseto - Reply to your Palm PC questions
Regarding your questions, I am no WinCE expert. I can give you some comments, but I strongly recommend you contact Tech. Suppport for your questions (if you don't feel comfortable with answers).1. With a Modem Card for your Palm PC, you can connect to the Internet, via a dial-up ISP. That would give you POP mail service and Web Browsing (there is a pocket browser in WinCE). I would expect a slow connection though...
2. As far a I know, most of the software installation programs on WinCE require a PC to run the programs. There are some instances that you can do a direct install from your web browser. This totally depends on how the software vendors distribute their software. Check with the software vendors you want to buy from. In short, yes you can install applications without a PC, but not every single applications out there.
3. The advantage of getting a Modem card??? Well, A sale person can tell you a lot, but I can only tell you couple. Say you want to read you e-mail off-line. (only good if you don't have many attachments) Or, you are locked in a Hotel room with nothing to do.
