there is software out there that could let you do TCP/IP over the cradle - yes. maybe the question should not have been to specifically ask "which devices support network connections" - but, really it should have been: "which devices support it without additional hardware or software" if palm put NetLib.lib on the original zire - thats another question. can anyone verify this? the main point is that nearly every palm device can get a TCP/IP connection using a number of means via hardware and/or software. whats feasible for the user? thats up to them. when we write networked based applications - we leave it up to the user to decide the best way to get online. offering 802.11b devices is the obvious "easy way" - but, some techno geeks like to hook up their phones via GPRS or even basic data line calls to get online.. i remember it was so cool when i used to walk around having icq on my palm m505 connected to an ericsson phone with GPRS over irDA. i looked stupid walking around that like - but it worked! these days, BT makes it less "geeky" :) -- // Aaron Ardiri -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
