Tivo, PDA's and Wireless LAN Computing
So, I really want to get into the wireless computing scene. I have read all the good public docs about the encryption, keys, SSID, and Linksys has a great PDF that takes you through a very good security setup for these things. I have an XBox, but it is hard wired already (damn the foresight!!), and my laptop doesn't really go anywhere but next to my main PC and doesn't have a wireless card (yet) or anything.

Then I think, well, maybe if I pick up an iPac h5555 pocket PC with built in wireless 802.11b, bluetooth and Windows Mobile 2003, I could justify getting a wireless router. Yeah, that will only run me $600 plus the cost of the router. Then I read about how cool some of the latest tablet PC's are (basically just big PDA's with better computational power), and that seems like a good idea (now I'm only up to $2000).

Then I also think I really need to get a wireless MP3/PVR combo setup out by my TV with wireless keyboard and mouse. You know, to record what ever I want, surf the web on my big screen HDTV and whatever else. Plus, it is a killer ap for justifying the need to get a wireless router. Grin.
