My University has a great wireless internet system on campus and i was wondering if I could use my sj33 with that system. I have heard about a mem. stick like device that will let you connect to a wireless system, or something like that. I don't remember exactly. I was wondering if it is possible with my sj33 and what software/hardware I would need. Thanks.

I think this is what you're looking for, but not the EXACT one of course. Just this type:

I believe what you are asking is in fact possible. However, it has very hard to come across one of those Wireless Memory Sticks. If you do manage to get one (through eBay or Amazon.com i'd imagine), all the software you'll need is most likely supplied on the CD that comes with it. So make sure you receive a CD when you get your Memory Stick, because i have a feeling the software/drivers needed to use that specific hardware is very rare.

This stick is only for palm OS 5.0 or 5.1. My SJ33 is 4.something. Anyone know of a stick that is compatable with Os 4.X?
Thanks

I am sure there is a WLAN MS out there that's OS4 compatible. Just Google it. You'll find it somewhere.

IIRC, Hagiwara Sys-Com is the only company that has produced and marketed any sort of WiFi Memory stick. :(
One possible option is looking for one of Sony's Communications sleds. I think that I remember reading somewhere that there is one that works with the SJ33. So what you would do is order one of those, and then purchase Sony's CompactFlash WiFi Card. I'm not 100% on the details, but I believe that that is a possibility.
The downside is that I don't think that there were ever any English versions of these "sleds" produced. So all the software and manuals are in Japanese.

There isn't, not for OS4. Though you could get some programmer to try to write the drivers for you.

I used my SJ33 extensively online using a cable to my cell phone, but I never heard of a WiFi product specifically for the SJ33, mostly because it's OS4.
There are companies that make WiFi stuff that works under OS4, but to connect them you'd have to modify a cable, then there is the question of if the drivers would work properly.
The SJ33 is a great PDA, but communications isn't it's strong point.
