Mobile Forum Beta Test Here!

Alexander Turcic · 03-02-2004, 02:14 PM

As part of our major site update, we will offer the full browsable forum as mobile content. The browsable version is not meant for offline browsers such as iSilo (another mobile forum is in work for the latter).

So if you have an online browser on your PDA, and if you would like to help us beta test the mobile forum, please reply to this thread.

I'll try it out. I've had little use for IE on the 1930 otherwise, until now <g>

Hey,

Too bad I don't have a way to connect my zire71 to the internet. I am close by a networked computer all the time anyway so I can wait until I get home/work in order to go on the internet. But I have to admit it would be pretty cool :-).

Dmc · 03-04-2004, 11:01 AM

OK this may be a stupid question but please bare with me, I just woke up and the only coffee I could find in the house is decafe. But is there anyway to access the internet from a PDA by having it in the hotsync cradle or yousing IRDA with a laptop. Theoritically it should be able to be done but I dont know if anybody has ever been in my state of mind. The reason I ask is that I want to see the new mobile site. Thanks for any sort of assistance you may be able to give. Now if you excuse me, I will be walking into town to go to the Tim Hortons.

cbarnett · 03-04-2004, 05:22 PM

Hmmm, with my ipaq, it's just a case of plugging it into the cable or cradle, and I have instant access through Activesync. Palms are a different kettle of fish. There's a utility available (though the name and url escapes me now

) that allows you to make a ppp connection to your pc from the palm in it's cradle. I tried it with my clie ages ago, but never got it working to my satisfaction.

Sorry I can't help you more. If I can find the url for the site with the software, I'll post it here.

Craig.

Dmc · 03-04-2004, 05:56 PM

Thanks for your response. I'll do an extensive web search to try to find that utility. You ready Google?!?!? Here I come!!!

cbarnett · 03-04-2004, 06:57 PM

Ah, now I remember the name of the software. Try searching for SoftickPPP!

Craig.

Dmc · 03-04-2004, 11:23 PM

Will do.

My co-worker just got the new TJ37 (I made him do it to see if I wanted one, and I do!). We're playing with his wifi alot lately. I'll check it out and post my thoughts.

Couldn't tell if you still wanted replies or just to test it out - but I will look at it later today. Using a Clie TH-55 with Wi-Fi
