Usally bigger is better, but that 802.11 module is huge! Who would want to carry that around.

The bluetooth module is better, too bad I cant use it with anything.

Big but useful

I've been chomping at the bit for weeks now to find out when I can get my hands on one of these. Too bad it's looking like July.

Your right, it's huge, but if I can get access to the network through this thing, I can get Hotsync/Intellisync/other mailsync capabilities, I can get on-the-fly Avant Go updates, I can get a mobile database via something like PenDragon as long as I'm in the building. Heck, I might even be able to get full Internet browsing capabilities. In short, the only reason I need a cradle is when I take it home.

Infinitely cool.
