Hi all,
Thanks a lot for all the replys.It was a big help.
I think I'll go for the TCP/IP solution with wireless modems.I am
comfortable with C/C++ and dont mind programming effort required.
But before finalising on Omnisky/PalmV, I would like to know if anyone has
actually developed successful wireless based interactive applications using
these equipments?
I would also like to know what is PDQ phone and Cellular data services.Do
they allow the user to use his existing Cell-Phone connection for wireless
transmission?
Once again thanks for kind help.
Tony.
