Comments on: adAlive Introduces Network of Internet Access Points for Palms
adAlive, Inc. today announced it has begun a technical beta test of its network of Internet access-points for PDA users. The test is taking place at the Pittsburgh airport, and will expand to other U.S. airports this Winter.
adAlive access-points are attached to billboard ads found in major airport terminals. With adAlive, PDA users can make an infrared Internet connection and perform a HotSync, send and receive e-mail, and download info from the billboard advertiser.

How Fast?
I sync my Palm with my Mac occasionally via IR and it takes a really lo-o-o-ong time. Is this a flaw with my Mac or do IR HotSyncs usually take about 20 minutes? If they are always slow, I'm not sure how many people are going to be willing to stand at an airport access port for that long. And if a few people want to do this at the same time, the wait could get endless.

What about me?
Does anyone know if they have any plans for the UK after the trials?
If it does catch on there may be queues building up at billboards everywhere! :-)
