Dave, In the thread 'Universal Connector?????' Ben Combee mentioned Symbol and Acceca. You made a comment on Acceca. It would be interesting to know your opinion on serial interface in Symbol and other Palm licensee PDAs including Japanese. I mean mechanical design and specs regarding peripheral interfacing. What are your preferences? I'm interested in industrial and laboratory applications including medical.
