hello Laura, with the PK having a USB client, all this means is that it can't take charge of the USB connection. What I'm trying to say is that data can still be sent from the USB port so ActiveSync works in the normal manner. Basically, this doesn't impact on how it operates, more - what you can connect too. You can't connect to another USB client, i.e printers, sound cards etc.
This isn't a KeySoft limitation. Other PDAs on the market currently only have USB clients. Regards, Dean Jackson Customer/Technical Analyst Pulse Data International Ltd.

But does this mean that, as a slave, the bn will not be able to transfer files to a PC via active-sync, only receive them? What I don't understand is why a computer would be able to receive and send files, yet be classified as a "receiver". Or, am I missing something? > > My second question is to ask, to Dean or Jonathan, if the USB is to be implemented, why not wait until it can be functional with a printer, which, it seems, myself included, is a high priority for some on this list?
