Thanks for the tips. Yeah I hate trying to use the 12 digits to enter text.
I would build an extra site, since it will ONLY be used for entering hours
That a crew member worked for the day.

I prefer Palm OS over others, although I haven't really used others.

I have a Treo 700p that I love.  I'm on Sprint and we should get broadband
access later this year.

The Blazer browser is very nice.  It has some CSS and Javascript support.

So, I would recommend any mobile device that has a qwerty keyboard.
Personally, I HATE using a 12-digit keypad to enter text.

Three different options for the web site:
1. Use clean, simple markup and CSS and let a web site degrade for the
mobile device.
2. Use CGI variables to sniff the browser's capabilities and then use
conditional logic in your presentation for either a desktop or mobile
browser.
3. Use CGI to sniff the browser, then redirect a mobile browser to a
completely-separate site.

I would choose the device first, then build the site.  Mobile browser
capabilities can be quite different. 

At this point, I wouldn't try to support WAP and cards.  I would just use
some good ol' symantic HTML.

Subject: PDA Website?

 
I have a client who is looking to add PDA access to submit timesheet data
for the people in the field.
Thus the ability to login via PDA and submit hours worked for themselves and
their crew.
 
Keep in mind: These people are NOT Technical 
 
Questions:
1. What PDA would you recommend?
2. Would this be a separate website for PDA access?
3. What is the best approach, obtain a PDA capable then build the site?
 
Tips & Suggestions are EXTREMEL welcomed!
 
TIA!
