They have got the site working now.
Looks quite a package and at an amazing price.
I assume �20 was not a misprint.
I must say though I am very put off by the kid-speak in the pdf manual,
and the flashy design.
It is clearly aimed at kids - especially for the local wireless link.
'Cybish' language confirms it.
Mind you Ben's comment was "Nobody likes them - it makes you look like a
nerd". Mind you there are lots of nerds about out there (8-)#
They have 'business/personal' way way down in the manual, after games
etc.
RF2915 I do not recognise. It cannot be wifi - pity.
RF2915 wireless link I guess is not compatible with anything, and only
only 19200bps.
That makes for S L O W internet via one of the units connected to a
'real' computer.
I wonder if they are limited to pda sites - ie what browser is there.
