Hello Everybody,

I'm new here and I currently own a Clie' PEG-T665C! Recently, I have been checking into wireless capibility with my new Clie' . It seems that the only solution is to use BlueTooth without having to subscribe to another service.

This is the info I have found so far:

1.) Palm and Sony currently does not offer a bluetooth car that will fit into Sony Memory Stick slot (according to the manufacture) but I have found one Here (http://www.expansys.us/product.asp?code=PEGA-MSB1). Has anybody ordered off of this site? any previous experiences?
2.) I currently have a Sony Viao with Cable internet access. Do I need a Cable Router to comply with my bluetooth card? Or can I just use this USB Plug and Play from D Link found Here (http://www.dlink.com/products/usb/dbt120/)

What does everybody think about this?? yay or nay ??

Thanks for your help,

Clie' Source Newbie,
Mark

If you are close enough to use the VIAO with cable access, why would you surf from the Clie? The practical uses for bluetooth is HotSyncing and Internet access via BT enabled Mobile phone.
Don't get me wrong I want built-in bluetooth very much, but the hassle of taking a seperate card in and out is not worth it (especially since getting stuff working with BT is a bit daunting in the first place).

I'd like to surf from my Living Room or my bed, in another room.

I would like to see a Wi Fi memory card. I heard somewhere that Sony plans to introduce one, but I don't excpect it anytime soon.

I have a wirless network, plus it would work from anywhere in my house. I would love that!
