$200 Cradle?
Maybe I'm missing something here... I can see why I would want to connect my palm to an ethernet, but not through the cradle.
RE: $200 Cradle?
anywhere where there is an Ethernet jack and let users update their Palms wherever
they are. 802.11b will also be great for this. The biggest advantage is to companies
that have a significant investment in Palms and need sitewide synchronization availability.
RE: $200 Cradle?
Is there any bundled software to talk to the email server directly? I need to go to my seat, power on my desktop and sync the mails to it at this moment. Can I expect the ethernet cradle to be at ground floor so I can sync it just there?
Can I plug it into customer site and sync back to my mail or desktop in office (say firewall doesn't block the information I want to sync)?

Yeah, but does it provide TCP/IP connectivity?

So many Accessories Announced so Soon!!
Th Ethernet Cradle is a great idea... but I agree that we need wireless LAN capability post haste. This is very important and it seems as if Palm-based networking products are missing this...
Maybe Bluetooth will eventually make it into native architecture or a soon to be announced SD card??!!!
does anyone use an ethernet cradle
RE: does anyone use an ethernet cradle
access via the lan for my palm. It SYNCS very fast
but does not provide web surfing capability for my
IIIC. It does allow me to hotsync anywhere in the
building and even from home abeit I need to
provide a wide open hole in my fire wall to do this.
If palm provided HOTSYNC server software that would
run on a standard PC it would be useful. Otherwise
it's a $200 door stop at best.

Xircom has announced a new wireless LAN module
for the Palm m500 series. The module will allow fast,
continuous, wireless access to the Internet, E-mail
and network resources. A user with the module on his
Palm will even be able to sync without a data cable or cradle.
The module, which snaps onto the back of the Palm,
will begin shipping July 31, 2001. Pre-Orders are
being taken on Xircom's website. The cost for the
module is $299.00.

a recharging cradle? Something along the lines of a card or something? Something smaller
possibly?
