Our college has a grant from the SUNY United University and Professionals
union to do a pilot program and research on using Pocket PCs (Compaq IPaq
3650) in an academic environment.  I will be participating in the pilot
using the IPaq to access library webpages and web based databases that the
library subscribes to.  The Ipaq uses Windows CE with Internet Explorer and
can access HTML based webpages like a regular computer can.  Anyone out
there have any experience using the IPaq 3650 or other Pocket PCs?  I will
probably be using one with an expansion pack for wireless LAN and wireless
cellular connectivity.
