The users aren't able to innovate where needed though. Obviously I don't
really understand what type of wireless technology is being used(yet - I'll
rectify that soon enough). But if the web browser and email (and other) apps
are able to resolve IP addresses, and receive (and send) data to machines that
only understand that kind of data (IP), I find it very unlikely that it's
"impossible" to acheive the tasks I've described. Putting together a
hodge-podge of other gear to do it, seems like more of an "easy way out",
without trying to fully utilize and push the current technology (of the palml,
not other tech) to it's optimal use. (Forgive my ramble). And I am too stubborn
to just shrug my shoulders and give up on this. Well, since no one here seems to
know of an already existing util. Anyone even ever have the remotest interest
in trying to pursue this goal? Else I guess having one of the dozen or so of
our developers delve into the palm code would be the best option, even though
they're more focused on ecom and such, hmmmm Too bad it's not Java (duck and
covey). Someone mentioned something about a new API release for the wireless
communication? Is it an improvement in ease of coding? Or does it have any
improvements in the performance when writing apps using the wireless calls?
