hey thanks for the reply.i was beginning to think i reached a dead end. yeah i'll keep looking too. in the meantime, here's the official response i got from HP
Thank you for contacting HP Email support. I am Steve Karl and I will be assisting you regarding the concerned problem.
I believe you want to know about the funk odyssey client software for Wi-Fi (WLAN) connection for your iPAQ.
Here in this regard I would like to inform you that the Operating System installed in your iPAQ is Windows mobile 2005. This does not meet the minimum system requirement for using the software so you can not use the same.
However I also like to inform you that HP does not recommend its user to use any third party software with its unit as it has not tested the same and hence can not guarantee its optimum performance.
If you need any further assistance with the same please feel free to get back to me, I will be more than happy to assist you further.
Take care and have a blessed day.
