Dick,
This is actually one of the largest misconceptions with
PocketDBA/PocketAdmin - the term "wireless" or having to use it on a "WLAN
(Wireless LAN)".. You may notice now that Expand Beyond are marketing
PocketDBA as a "Mobile" tool rather than a "Wireless" tool.
You can use PocketDBA via a dial-up (from a mobile phone) to a RAS server or
VPN - just the same as you would with a laptop. Over here in the UK we
actually recommend that it's used this way - as opposed to touching an
internet facing server, or over a WLAN..
We're not overly concerned about EM 2 Go right now - the Pocket tools are
streets ahead of EM 2 Go from what we last heard. In my experience most
people are looking for tools that can cover the breadth of their
environments, and whether we like it or not, a lot of companies that are
using Oracle also use SQLServer, or DB2 as well. With the Pocket tools you
can manage your UNIX systems or any VT100 compliant system such as a
hardware firewall or router (PocketAdmin Console), Windows environments such
as domains, users, systems, Exchange Server etc. (PocketAdmin for Windows),
and most of the major database vendors (Oracle, SQLServer, DB2 - Teradata in
the next month). Can EM 2 Go do this? I think not... ;)
I've not heard a lot about the functionality within EM 2 Go, the last we
heard (at the start of this year) was that it was no where near PocketDBA.
I've never seen or used EM 2 Go my self yet, so I'd be interested in
comments from anybody that has!
Cheers
Mark

Patrice,
We tried setting up Expand Beyond's Pocket DBA a couple of years ago. The
biggest problem was the lack of wireless capabilities outside of major
metropolitan areas. I believe that situation has improved somewhat, but it
still needs a ton of work by the phone companies. Heck my cell phone is
marginal at home.
