Keep in mind that the Symbol 1740 is a Palm OS(r) device with a built in 802.11 radio LAN. It also does a pretty good job of minimizing battery usage, which seems to be a problem with CE devices with local radios. And because it is built-in, there is no external antenna!
Symbol also supply a web client for the 1740. They also supply a complete set of radio gear (access points, etc.) and services to install and support the local network. (It'd be nice if Symbol also made available a HandSpring addon card with an 802.11 radio) Roger Stringer Marietta Systems, Inc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Subject: Re: Palm for GSA contract >From: "M.
