I'm not sure I understand what they mean by that. I get what I would call "live" access to my e-mail via my 56k CF modem on my iPaq 3630 w/PPC2k2. I have Earthlink as my ISP, so no matter where I go I'm able to dial-up, surf, send/receive e-mail and my attachments with no problem. The only limitation I have is the size of attachments (since the 3630 only had 32MB of RAM and I'm not using a dual sleeve). The other features, however, of the In Touch software are attractive.
