Putting the NIC into the PDA instead of into the cradle means lower costs (many CPU devices come with NIC included) and means the device identity (MAC) isn&#8217;t going to change just because you plugged into a different cradle. And there are <em>many</em> industrial applications, which used to use a serial cable to connect PDA (&#8220;handheld engineer&#8217;s terminal&#8221;) to industrial kit and can now use (faster, more reliable, generally easier for the engineer) ethernet instead; and no, you wouldn&#8217;t use WIFI in these situations.</p> Wed, 16 Aug 2006 05:58:00 -0700 urn:uuid:eab8d3ca-ae64-4268-b1c4-155e81fc208a http://scottstuff.net/blog/2005/03/16/tungsten-t6-palmos-6-finally#comment-460
