I was just wondering if it was possible to put GSM and GPRS modules into non phone PDA's. That would be really cool if possible.
If it was possible it would PPC Techs next upgrade.
It would be really nice to have an all in one device.
If not possible to intergrate in hardware is it possible to put some kind of accessory on it or something thats not too big ???

The point is to call and connect to the internet using GPRS.

This functionality is already available in CF form factor. I believe another site (Brighthand?) did a review with 2215 equipped with the GSM/GPRS CF card. I'm at work and don't have the right links easily accessible, but you should be able to do a few Google searches and find what you're looking for. Happy hunting!

Here for SD. So I guess maybe this year.

I think hardware would be better. So the device can mantain its size.
Is this hardware upgrade possible ?
