Push implies a connected state, or the ability to receive async notification. You could do that way back when with a Marco (NewtonOS/Ardis? network) but man was it slow! Today, you can do Push with the Kyocera smartphone (remember the pdqPhone? This is the non-prototype version) by sending it an SMS message with a specific string 'key' -- via email or http and your phone service gateway. On the device, you write an app that handles (or at least filters) sms messages (there is an SDK on the Kyocera web page). When an incoming SMS message is received, your app gets a launch code & the (100 bytes max for most carriers) string of the SMS message. If you need to push more than that to the device, you either send multiple SMS msgs and assemble them on the device, or you use one SMS message to trigger your app to make an outgoing connection via the CDMA network. Palm VIIs don't support push. Their radio is off unless you make an outgoing request. - John Schettino > -----Original Message----- > From: raoul reyes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2001 8:26 AM > To: Palm Developer Forum > Subject: Re: Active Push Of Information to Palm PDA > Wirelessly-Possible? > > > the closest i ever got to unsolicited push with a palm vx was with a > novatel minstrel modem. the modem supports push which you > can then pick > up from the palm. if you have this modem (used by omnisky) look at > their msci docs. it was very kludgy and abandoned it. > > On Tuesday, June 5, 2001, at 12:57 AM, Roshan wrote: > > > hi > > > > If I need to actively push some information to the Palm PDA device > > wirelessly from my server, is it possible to do this?
