Ok - there I was clearing out some old drawers etc - & I happen to come across an old PDA (a HP iPaq hx2190b - but it has 'Windows Mobile 5' & not 'Windows Mobile 2003 SE' ) which surprizingly still worked, even when stuck under a load of 'stuff' (once I found a charging cable for it)
I was curious on what use I could get out of it, after all there no Camera built in, or Wifi...I already have a Mobile which stores all my contacts etc .....
The only thing it got going for it is that it has a larger screen for web browsing than the mobile (about twice the size), which I could do IF I used the bluetooth function of it with my Mobile.....
So - out of curiousity I wondered if such a thing as a 'WiFi SD card' existed so I could use WiFi instead of bluetooth (since the PDA also has a Compact flash slot - I could used that for storage instead)
Boy...... was I suprized to find such things DO existlike this
Now I'm curious
(I've also found out you can get these for digital cameras to turn them into 'wifi enabled' as well which sound interesting)

Now I'm curious
- Are these thing actually worth it ?? - or should I just chuck the PDA away ??
Are they simple to use - as in just 'plug & play' ?? or is there a LOT of configuring to do with it ??
