re: wireless access from a PocketPC device in general,
I have a (NetGear) WiFi CF card in my Dell PocketPC.
A lot of web sites I connect to simply don't work -
they don't yet support Pocket Internet Explorer.
e.g. my bank says I don't have strong enough encryption,
other sites just don't come up at all.
And those that do are very hard to use at 320x200 resolution.
Hopefully, this will change over time.
Also, I just upgraded to PocketPC 2003 which supposedly has better support for wireless connections. We'll see what that means...

HTH.
