Internet Connection

Hi,

is there any sort of expansion card i can plug into my toshiba pocket pc e
740 that enables me to connect to the internet without having to connect via
bluetooth to my mobile - its takes so much time!

Thanks for your help

If I'm correct the E740 has a CF card slot. In that case you can use two
types of techniecs: WiFi or GPRS.

*WiFi* gives your device a connection to the internet via a wires LAN.
A draw back is that the coverages is still limited to big cities. I
can't recomand any cards, because i have never realy looked for them,
but I know that they are out there. On the plus side, this is the
fastes techniek availble at this moment. for mobile surfing.

*GPRS* uses the GSM network. You have to check GSM provider for there
covarege. Here in Holland the coverage is completly the same (99%). I
have ordered the RTM-8000 from AudioVox. This little basterd not only
connects me to the internet, but it also turns my iPaq into a mobile
phone. (It has a TriBand GSM chip included so it works in Europe aswel
as in the US). One minor draw back is that it is not as fast as WiFi.
~They~ say that the speed of GPRS is comparable with a 33K analog
connection.

I'll try to add some performance comments when I get it working.
