internet on a palm?  10-18-2004, 17:00 Thinking about buying my
first pda. I really only need to have a dayplanner function, a
photo viewer, and perhaps the ability to view very short mpeg
videos.(no longer than 10 secs) I see people talking about
viewing the internet on these devices and was curious as to how
that works? Do I need to get a device with the built in phone.
Jack Straight 10-18-2004, 17:10 I have a Treo 270. Palm OS,
phone, web browswing, text msssaging. Can do email, but I don't
use it for this.  The Treo 600 also has a camera.  To browse the
internet, you turn on the phone, then bring up the browser,
which establishes a GPRS connection. Then you can browse the
web. However, sites with frames are a pain. Sites designed for
mobiles are much nicer to use.  I find it handy for reading news
in the morning.  10-18-2004, 17:22 Thanks for the reply I don't
really need it but was curious.
