I have just gotten hold of the latest Palm PDA, the TX, in which Palm have finally delivered built-in wi-fi and I have to say it does a tremendous job of providing a rich remote interface for the SB. Screen is large, bright and high res and works well with the slimserver handheld skin. But the best thing is the way in which the TX handles the wi-fi part. It finds and connects to networks very quickly and has well-managed power saving features which shut off the wireless after a period of inactivity. By setting the slimserver page as my home page I can pick up the Palm, hit the appropriate shortcut button and be connected to SS in a few seconds with all of the advantages of the fully detailed interface in my hand.
The only slight issue I would mention is that as far as I can tell (although not a lot of experimentation yet) it needs to be able to see your SSID to connect. Whereas I was previoulsy running with my wireless router's SSID broadcasting turned off I now have it turned on to enable the TX to connect. Not the cheapest remote control but you do also get a free PDA (inlcuding so-so MP3 player) thrown in with it. davep -- davep _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
