Other Uses For Palm VII's Wireless Functionality? 7
And the endless parade of questions from Anonymous Cowards continues: "I just got a new Palm VII and I got to thinking, 'Hmm, can I use this little antenna for anything other than the built-in service through Bell South?' This is what I was wondering if the /. community could help out with. Can I make two Palm VII's talk directly to one another? Can I rig a PC or other type of receiver to communicate with a Palm VII or multiple Palm VII's? My vision is a large corporate campus or building, where the company has its own receiver, and has lots of employees running around with Palm VII's checking e-mail and doing other productive stuff without having to use the provided Internet access. Any other cool ideas are welcome. If you want to see what Palm is offering as far as development ideas, check out their development area."

p.s. Clarkson's hockey team tanked this season. Worst I've ever seen. Somebody stole the team and replaced them with space aliens from a universe where ice doesn't freeze.

The price is $150, which is several times the impulse buy level, so I can't just buy it and see. Also, you'd need more than one to really do anything.
My interests are in mobile wireless routing protocols; this little toy actually does some of that, because messages from two disconnected devices will hop through a device that can talk to both. It sounds really cool.

The hockey team is full of aliens now? First the administration, now the hockey team, what next? I hear SLU did rather well though.
