Keep in mind that the Symbol 1740 is a Palm OS(r) device with
a built in 802.11 radio LAN. It also does a pretty good job of
minimizing battery usage, which seems to be a problem with CE
devices with local radios. And because it is built-in, there is no
external antenna!
Symbol also supply a web client for the 1740.
They also supply a complete set of radio gear (access points, etc.)
and services to install and support the local network.
(It'd be nice if Symbol also made available a HandSpring addon
card with an 802.11 radio)
