Well, I don't have one but for my major research project and disertation this year I with some others carried out a study looking at on-line community networks and PDA's with wireless technology. I don't know If any of this is much use to you but I will give it to you anyway.

This is the model that I am thinking about.

Well the participants certainly felt so

Staying in touch with other students, getting involved more in the students union, accesing the web, doing work on, playing games

I can see them as a very useful tool for students and I am one myself.

They did but dont think anyone really used it.

Yes and yes. The main question is were are you going to have access to a wireless network? If you have access than away you go.

We have wireless networks all over campus, and in otehr places around town such as the coffee shops.

We had a whole wireless network established in the institute for the trial, once set up it was very reliable, we did not have problems with it going down.

Not sure. But think so.

Well if I had the cash and access to a wireless network I would get one.

I do and do, I am thinking very strongly about it.

Not really, Some of the nomad people designed stuff specifically for the PDA's but I think that was primarily web based.

I do not know if that was any use to you, below is a link to NOMAD who we did the work with. It has some more info on the trial. We have put up a website with more info, but it was one of the others who uploaded it so I dont know the address, If I can find it I will post it. I have a disertation but it is pretty boring and deals a lot with the community network aspect of stuff.

Thanks for the link I will check it out more closely.
