Hello people,

I have a 360lx and I want to use it for emails with my business. Has anyone tried to use a PC card wireless internet card on their palmtop?

looking at the system requirments for these cards are win 98 and 2mb of hd space.

Has anyone actually tried it and got it to work?

I love this think and dont want to trade it in for a palm..

Are you referring to wifi or cellular wireless? The HCL would give you some info on Wifi cards... for cellular wireless, the only manufacturer I know that has CE drivers is Sierra Wireless, but it looks like they only have drivers for HPC2000 and CE .NET.

Forget G, not a chance in hell. It's 802.11b only.
Have a look through the HCL, and you'll have to look in your local area for them or eBay. You didn't say where you are, so we can't begin to help you with specifics.

There is a news post on the front page that covers the batteries.

I still haven't gotten a hold of that Linksys CF G card... does it even exist?

BTW, I got a hint of Jonny's whereabouts from his email address: .ca means CAnada

Also, Jonny, I am not so sure about checking emails on public hotspots, since you're basically sending your password over a public network, where anyone can join. It is technically easy to steal passwords that way. I don't know if Starbucks have any measures to prevent that though.
