wireless >> Am I waiting for the wrong PDA?

by ~ MArky MArk ~ » Thu, 02 Oct 2003 18:17:17 GMT

Hi,

I'm after a Pocket PC device that has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built-in, but also
has Compact Flash and (ideally) SD slots. I was hoping the iPaq 4155 would
do the job, but looking at the docs
(http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/forms/blobs/retrieve.cgi?attachment_id=
361571&native_or_pdf=pdf) a CF slot didn't make it into the final product.

I have a Wireless LAN at home, a Bluetooth Phone and a Digital Camera with a
CF card. That lot dictates my requirements, although I'd also like to be
able to insert a MicroDrive and it looks like an SD slot might be wise
futureproofing. Does anyone know of any PDA that can provide all of this -
any concrete specs on the Axim X7, for example?

Thanks alot,

MArk

Why not the HP iPaq 5555? It's got everything you mentioned.

Thanks. Apart from needing a CF jacket it looks perfect. This looks
interesting too;

The Toshiba 755 has all that, and is cheaper ($369 on Amazon.) I have a
.5gig CF card I got for $100 after rebate. Awesome.

That looks good too, but doesn't have both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi at the same
time (I think?). I might settle on an iPaq 2210 and a Wi-Fi SD card as the
best combination of value and availability here in the UK...

Hi,



That's not useful anyway, since both use the same frequencies.
If you have both active at the same time (tried that with a Fujitsu
Siemens Pocket Loox with Wavelan CF-card) you get all kinds of
interesting results.

Greetings,
Jens

While Hp does not recommend it, I have run both at the same time on my 5455
and for me I haven't found a problem.

Thanks. Shouldn't be a problem anyway - it was having the capabilities
built-in (or easily added, leaving a CF slot free) that I was interested in,
rather than using both at the same time.

Cheers,

2. where I am doing wrong? 

I create a PPC application with default form class name
("Form1").

I add:

<DllImport("Coredll", 
CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.Winapi, 
CharSet:=CharSet.Auto)> _
Public Shared Function FindWindow(ByVal className As 
String, ByVal windowName As String) As Int32
End Function

And add the following to the New():

Dim hWnd As Int32
Dim className As String
Dim windowName As String

className = "Form1"
windowName = "Form1"
hWnd = FindWindow(className, windowName)

But I got hWnd=0. What is wrong?

4. pda appointment yields meeting request with wrong date 

Hi,

I create an apointment with attendees on a pda. Then during activesync, the 
meeting requests that are sent have a wrong date : instead of having the 
appointment's date, they have today's date with the hour being rounded to the 
closest half hour. However, in the calendar, the appointment has the correct 
time and date. I've seen afew testimonies of people witnessing the same 
behavior, but nothing close to a hint about where to find the beginning of a 
solution.

I will add that this problem seems to happen randomly, i.e. it does happen 
"sometimes" with the same pda and computer, while with other devices it will 
always happen and with some other it will never happen... By other, I mean 
same brand, model, same windows mobile edition, same outlook edition, and 
really similar configuration on laptop.

Thank you for your ideas

6. iPAQ 5555 won't sync..what am I doing wrong? 

I'm doing everything the directions tell me to. Installed outlook first,
didn't connect the sync cable to my PC, installed ActiveSync. After
installation of ActiveSync, connected USB cable to PC.....activesync starts
and just goes round and round and round, and doesn't acknowledge synching
with the iPAQ. Is it me? Or just another Microsoft joke.

Respond by email or public please. Thanks.
