Connecting to your wireless home network via your PDA

One of the few areas of personal computing where Microsoft and Windows has not been the dominant software is the area of handheld computers. The PDA devices from Palm became the first big success story in handheld computers in the early ’90s and have maintained their leadership position ever since. Handhelds from Hewlett-Packard (formerly Compaq) and other manufacturers based on Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 5.0 are finally giving Palm a run for its money. Even though Pocket PCs are still (on the average) more expensive than Palm PDAs, they boast computing power more akin to a full-sized PC, running scaled-down versions of the most popular Windows-based application software. Handheld computers, such as computers that run the Windows Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system (and later versions of the Microsoft operating system for handheld computers), are perfect candidates for wireless network connectivity.
By definition, handheld computers are highly portable.

Here are a couple of reasons why going wireless with Pocket PC Windows Mobile 5.0 might be worth the trouble. You will be able to

Wirelessly synchronize your address book, calendar, inbox, and so forth on your Pocket PC with your desktop computer from anywhere
in your house without needing to plug into the docking station
Access the Internet from your Pocket PC, both over your wireless home network and at wireless hot spots, such as in Starbucks coffee shops and in many airports and hotels.
Connect to other Pocket PC devices. For example, mobile businesspeople can exchange files or even electronic business cards via a wireless connection
Download MP3 files to play on your Pocket PC.

The thought of being able to access your e-mail or browse the Internet on your HP iPAQ while sipping a latté in Starbucks is compelling. After you get your Pocket PC set up with a wireless connection, synchronizing your calendar and phone list becomes a snap. But you’ll need a CF card to do it.
